Abe Silverstein, 1908-2001, a giant in the field of aerospace engineering and development, was born in Terre Haute, Indiana. He received a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, in 1929, and a Mechanical Engineering professional degree, in 1934, at Rose Polytechnic Institute.

Silverstein began his professional career with the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), in 1929, at the Langley Research Center, Hampton, Virginia. There, he helped design and, later, was placed in charge of the full-scale wind tunnel. In this facility he directed important research that led to increased high-speed performance for most of the United States combat aircraft of World War II.

In 1943, he was transferred to the NACA Aircraft and Engine Research Laboratory (later named, NACA Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory) at Cleveland, Ohio. As chief of the Wind Tunnel and Flight Division, Silverstein directed research in propulsion aerodynamics in the Altitude Wind Tunnel. These investigations led to significant improvements in both reciprocating and early turbojet aircraft engines. He also pioneered research on large-scale ramjet engines.

Following World War II, Silverstein was responsible for the concept, design and construction of the nation's first supersonic propulsion wind tunnels. The investigations in these facilities greatly contributed to the development of present-day supersonic aircraft. In 1949, he was placed in charge of all research at Lewis and in 1952 was appointed Associate Director of the laboratory.

Silverstein was called to NACA Headquarters in Washington, D. C. in 1958 to plan the organization and programs for a new space agency, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), to be built around NACA as its core. Subsequently, he was appointed Director of NASA's Office of Space Flight Programs that included the development of both manned and unmanned spacecraft. He initiated the Tiros weather satellites and communication satellites. He directed the task forces that carried out the Mercury manned flights. This activity laid the groundwork for the Gemini and Apollo programs and the latter's success in landing men on the moon.

Dr. Silverstein returned to Cleveland in 1961 as Director of the NASA Lewis Research Center, responsible for the development of advanced space power and propulsion systems. Under the latter program, he was the guiding force behind the creation of the Centaur launch vehicle. From its first successful launch in 1963 to the end of the century, Centaur was the workhorse of the American space program, propelling spacecraft to the moon and to the outer planets and both scientific and commercial satellites into earth orbit.

Dr. Silverstein retired in 1969 with 40 years of government service. He went on to work for Republic Steel Corporation, in Cleveland, Ohio, from 1970-1977, where he helped develop pollution controls.

Abe Silverstein received numerous awards and honors throughout his career. He was American representative to the Joint Meeting of the Institute of Aeronautical Sciences and the Royal Aeronautical Society in London in 1947; he delivered the annual Wright Brothers Lecture before the Institute of Aerospace Sciences in 1948; he delivered the 49th Wilbur Wright Memorial Lecture in London in 1961; and he delivered the Biennial Theodore von Karman Memorial Lecture at the Tenth Annual Israel Conference on Aviation and Astronautics in Tel Aviv, Israel, in 1968. He was awarded an honorary engineering degree by Case Institute of Technology in 1958; an honorary Doctor of Science Degree by Rose Polytechnic Institute in 1959; an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters by Yeshiva University in 1960; an Honorary Doctor of Applied Science Degree by John Carroll University in 1967; and an Honorary Doctor of Science Degree by Baldwin Wallace College in 1970. He was presented the Air Force Exceptional Civilian Award in 1960; the NASA Medal for Outstanding Leadership in 1961; the National Civil Service's Career Service Award in 1962; the Sylvanus Albert Reed Award of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) in 1964; the Louis W. Hill Space Transportation Award of the AIAA in 1967; the Boy Scout Silver Beaver Award, the NASA Distinguished Service Medal and the Rockefeller Public Service Award in 1968; and the Spirit of St. Louis Medal of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in 1974. Lastly, in 1997, he was awarded the prestigious Guggenheim Medal for significant contributions to the advancement of flight and joined the distinguished company of previous winners, such as Orville Wright, William Boeing and Charles Lindberg.

In addition to his professional career, Dr. Silverstein was active in community and civic affairs. He was instrumental in the founding of Beth Israel-The West Temple of Cleveland in 1954. His concern for human rights led to his involvement in the Cleveland Council on Soviet Anti-Semitism, serving as President, 1965-1969. Silverstein's interest in guiding youth to constructive endeavors led to his active participation with Boy Scouts of America in city, district, and local levels. He served as a Trustee of Cleveland State University, Case Western Reserve University, and the Cleveland Natural History Museum; a member of the Baldwin-Wallace College Council of Cleveland Business and Industrial Leaders, the Carnegie-Mellon University Mechanical Engineering Visiting Committee, the Advisory Board of Deaconess Hospital, and the Cleveland Federal Executive Board.

Silverstein married Marion Crotser in 1950. They had three children: Joseph, Judith and David. Marion died in 1998.

Abe Silverstein Papers, 1929-2000

Title: Abe Silverstein Papers 1929-2000

Abe Silverstein (1908-2001) a giant in the field of aerospace engineering and development, was born in Terre Haute, Indiana. He received a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, in 1929, and a Mechanical Engineering professional degree, in 1934, at Rose Polytechnic Institute. Silverstein began his professional career with the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), in 1929, at the Langley Research Center, Hampton, Virginia. There, he helped design and, later, was placed in charge of the full-scale wind tunnel. In this facility he directed important research that led to increased high-speed performance for most of the United States combat aircraft of World War II. In 1943, he was transferred to the NACA Aircraft and Engine Research Laboratory (later named, NACA Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory) at Cleveland, Ohio. As chief of the Wind Tunnel and Flight Division, Silverstein directed research in propulsion aerodynamics in the Altitude Wind Tunnel. These investigations led to significant improvements in both reciprocating and early turbojet aircraft engines. He also pioneered research on large-scale ramjet engines. Following World War II, Silverstein was responsible for the concept, design and construction of the nation's first supersonic propulsion wind tunnels. The investigations in these facilities greatly contributed to the development of present-day supersonic aircraft. In 1949, he was placed in charge of all research at Lewis and in 1952 was appointed Associate Director of the laboratory. Silverstein was called to NACA Headquarters in Washington, D. C. in 1958 to plan the organization and programs for a new space agency, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), to be built around NACA as its core. Subsequently, he was appointed Director of NASA's Office of Space Flight Programs that included the development of both manned and unmanned spacecraft. He initiated the Tiros weather satellites and communication satellites. He directed the task forces that carried out the Mercury manned flights. This activity laid the groundwork for the Gemini and Apollo programs and the latter's success in landing men on the moon. Dr. Silverstein returned to Cleveland in 1961 as Director of the NASA Lewis Research Center, responsible for the development of advanced space power and propulsion systems. Under the latter program, he was the guiding force behind the creation of the Centaur launch vehicle. From its first successful launch in 1963 to the end of the century, Centaur was the workhorse of the American space program, propelling spacecraft to the moon and to the outer planets and both scientific and commercial satellites into earth orbit. Dr. Silverstein retired in 1969 with 40 years of government service. He went on to work for Republic Steel Corporation, in Cleveland, Ohio, from 1970-1977, where he helped develop pollution controls. In addition to his professional career, Dr. Silverstein was active in community and civic affairs. He was instrumental in the founding of Beth Israel-The West Temple of Cleveland in 1954. His concern for human rights led to his involvement in the Cleveland Council on Soviet Anti-Semitism, serving as President, 1965-1969. Silverstein's interest in guiding youth to constructive endeavors led to his active participation with Boy Scouts of America in city, district, and local levels. He served as a Trustee of Cleveland State University, Case Western Reserve University, and the Cleveland Natural History Museum; a member of the Baldwin-Wallace College Council of Cleveland Business and Industrial Leaders, the Carnegie-Mellon University Mechanical Engineering Visiting Committee, the Advisory Board of Deaconess Hospital, and the Cleveland Federal Executive Board. The collection consists of awards and honors, biographies, correspondence, papers and reports, press articles, talks and addresses, personal material, and books. Of particular interest are talks containing reminiscences of Dr. Silverstein's involvement in decisions that shaped early space programs.

William H. Pickering Speech Collection, 1955-1975.

Resource

Pickering, William H., 1910-2004. William H. Pickering Speech Collection, 1955-1975.

Title: William H. Pickering Speech Collection, 1955-1975.

The collection consists of rough drafts and transcripts of speeches delivered by Pickering, along with related correspondence, and speeches and articles written by others that were of interest to Pickering. The collection is arranged in its original order: chronologically by date of speech or published article. The items include correspondence, memoranda, photographs, journal articles, newspaper clippings, transcripts of press conferences, rough drafts of speeches and transcripts of speeches. Speeches Delivered by Pickering (Boxes 1-11, folders 1-253). The folders include correspondence pertaining to the speech, any rough drafts, including hand-written drafts, any drafts of the speech that were different from previous drafts, a transcript of the speech as given, and in many cases, an "official" version of the speech. If the speech were published in a journal, copies of the journal article are also included. The date span of Pickering's speeches in the collection is 1955-1975, with bulk dates of 1958-1970. At the beginning of the collection is an index of Pickering's speech appearances from 1955 to 1968. The list is useful as a locating aid, although in some places the dates of speeches are incorrect. Not every speech is represented with a transcript or draft. A few were repeats of speeches that Pickering had made earlier, and some had no written script. The titles of the speeches represented in the collection are noted in the folder list. Pickering did repeat a few of his speeches to different groups. One example of this was Pickering's speech on the "Grand Tour" mission that eventually resulted in the Voyager project. The materials with the November 1969 Grand Tour speech that Pickering made for the Society of Sigma Xi included transparencies, a 1966 journal article by Gary Flandro, and several preliminary drafts of the speech. The speech was repeated at the University of Tennessee Space Institute in January 1970, and the Harvard Society of California in April 1970. Also included in the series are transcripts of press conferences and television and radio interviews of Pickering. Two press conferences are represented, regarding Pioneer 3 in 1958 and Mariner 5 in 1967. Pickering did several interviews for American and British television, and they are represented in the series. Several of the files contain photographs, either representing Pickering's talk or copies of slides that Pickering showed. One example is the speech "From Nebula to Man: Seeking the Ultimate Answers," given by Pickering in 1970, which includes 20 lithographs of slides used in the presentation. Pickering did a fair amount of world travel publicizing the Lab and space exploration. On at least two occasions he traveled back to his native land of New Zealand; correspondence and documentation relating to these trips are represented in the series. Pickering also made a few speeches in conjunction with the Apollo 11 Spacecraft and Lunar Rock Mobile Exhibit. The exhibit traveled to all the State Capitols of the continental U.S. from April 1970 to March 1971, as well as Hawaii and Alaska in April and May 1971. Exhibits on display included the Apollo 11 Command Module, a Moon rock, Apollo 11 space suits, and various art depicting the Apollo 11 mission. The NASA-sponsored display started and finished in Glendale, California. Pickering delivered speeches at Carson City, Nevada and Boise, Idaho, at the same time the exhibit was on display. In some cases, newspaper clippings publicizing an event that Pickering spoke at are in the collection. One example of this is Pickering's speech at the American Association for the Advancement of Science, held in Chicago in December 1970. The person introducing Pickering was interrupted by hecklers, although the situation was quickly diffused. The Los Angeles Times later reported, "Youths Boo Pickering's Talk on Mars," which was a double mistake, as Pickering himself was not interrupted, and his talk was not on Mars. Pickering wrote to a USC professor that he had stayed and answered questions from dissenters for twenty minutes after the initial question period, and that apart from the initial few hecklers, the demonstrators were well behaved. Speeches Delivered by Others (Boxes 12-15; folders 254-390). Pickering collected articles written by others and transcripts of speeches delivered by others. The span dates of the series are from 1958-1975, with a bulk date of 1963-1970. While the bulk of the series consists of articles written by JPL personnel, Pickering also collected speeches by other people. Also included are speeches and articles written by key NASA personnel such as NASA Administrators James E. Webb, Thomas O. Paine and James C. Fletcher and NASA Deputy Administrators Robert C. Seamans and George M. Low. Caltech president Lee A. DuBridge is also represented in the series with several speeches and articles. DuBridge's successor at Caltech, Harold Brown, is also represented in the collection with a speech. Additionally, there are several speeches regarding the space program delivered by members of Congress. These individuals include: George P. Miller, (D-CA), U.S. House 1945-73; Member, Committee on Science and Astronautics, 1959-73; Chair, 1961-73; Joseph E. Karth, (D-MN), U.S. House 1959-77; Member, Committee on Science and Astronautics, 1959-71; Chair, Subcommittee on Space Science and Applications, 1959-71; Emilio Q. Daddario (D- CT), U.S. House 1959-71; Member, Committee on Science and Astronautics; Margaret Chase Smith (R-ME), U.S. Senate 1949-73, ranking Republican on Aeronautical and Space Sciences Committee 1967-73; Walter F. Mondale (D-MN) U.S. Senate 1965-76, Vice President 1977-81; Frank E. Moss (D- UT) U.S. Senate 1959-77, Chair, Committee on Aeronautical and Space Sciences 1973-77; John V. Tunney (R-CA) U.S. House 1965-71; U.S. Senate 1971-77; Hubert H. Humphrey (D-MN), U.S. Senate 1949-64, 71-78; Vice President 1965-69. Several of these speeches are in the form of testimony in the Congressional Record. One example from 1970 is testimony from James A. Van Allen of the State University of Iowa, Thomas Gold of Cornell University, and U.S. Senator Walter F. Mondale, regarding the proposed Space Shuttle.
