An Information Science Division was established at NASA's Ames Research Center, Mountain View, California, to conduct research in artificial intelligence for applications to space exploration. It was expected that artificial intelligence would be used to develop automated systems for all phases of space missions, from launch to mission control and for onboard operations. Artificial intelligence technology would also be used to advance spacecraft performance and safety, and would free astronauts from routine chores.
Research in artificial intelligence and the development of automated system would be a joint effort between the Information Science Division, other NASA Centers, private industry, and academic institutions. (NASA Release 87-89)
NASA announced that Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Alabama, had invited industry to develop advanced solid rocket motor designs. The preliminary designs called for both a segmented motor design and a monolithic motor design. Requests for these designs, called Phase B studies, followed completion of "Phase A" conceptual studies of alternative solid rocket motor designs. Those designs were done by five aerospace firms.
