Low-Cost Silicon Solar Array Project (LSSA) Administrative Documents Collection, 1974- 1979.

This collection of LSSA Project records contains administrative correspondence and planning documents, presentation materials, project plans, performance requirements, timelines, milestone schedules, budgets, procurement plans, as well as memoranda, status reports, and other documents having to do with the day-to-day activities of the government agencies, contractors and JPL employees involved in the project. Much of the correspondence is between R.G. Forney, Manager of the LSSA Project at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and two officials at the Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA) in Washington, D.C. Those two officials were Dr. Leonard M. Magid, Office of Solar Electric Application at ERDA, and Dr. Morton B. Prince, Chief, Photovoltaic Branch, Office of Solar Electric Application, Division of Solar Energy at ERDA. Also included in the correspondence are several letters to Senator Charles H. Percy and a list of questions from Senator Albert Gore, Jr. A unique aspect of this project is material pertaining to the congressional hearings that took place in 1977.
