Source of Acquisition
The James J. Avitabile Papers were donated to Special Collections and University Archives in 2001.
Processing Information
The processing, arrangement and description of this collection commenced in October 2001 and was completed in March 2002.
Additional arrangement and description of the James J. Avitabile Papers was completed as part of the project, "Piercing the
Veil: Creating Access to the Archives of American Aerospace Exploration at Virginia Tech," funded by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) in 2024.
James J. Avitabile, an air force officer from East Haven, Connecticut, graduated from the University of Connecticut and obtained
an MBA from Western New England College. He entered the United States Air Force in 1959. During his career, Lieutenant Colonel
Avitabile served as an Atlas E operations launch officer and as an astronaut mission operations instructor at NASA's spacecraft
simulator complex responsible for astronaut mission flight training at Cape Canaveral/Kennedy from 1965 to 1967. He also served
in the Air Force's Manned Orbiting Laboratory (MOL) Program Office; as airborne test director for the E-3A Airborne Warnings
and Control Systems (AWACS) Aircraft; and as activation director for the AWACS Operating Base. He was a member of the Cadre
Office at NATO, responsible for the fielding of the NATO AWACS system and was a program director responsible for the acquisition
of Air Force Command and Control Systems. Upon retiring from the Air Force, Lt. Col. Avitabile worked for General Electric,
where he directed military and commercial space programs. Lt. Col. Avitabile and his wife Maria have three daughters and eight
grandchildren.
This collection contains materials related to the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo space exploration programs of the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration (NASA). Containing mostly technical data on spacecraft systems design and operation, the collection
provides a detailed look at NASA systems engineering during the early to mid 1960s. The collection is divided among the following
series:
Series I: NASA Programs, 1963-1967, n.d., contains in-house technical publications detailing spacecraft systems design and
procedures and is divided among three subseries. Together, these subseries chronicle the development and evolution of spacecraft
systems design and procedures which culminated in the first lunar landing.
Subseries A: Project Mercury, 1963, n.d., contains one technical report and an historical overview of the program.
Subseries B: Project Gemini, 1963-1966, n.d., is much more extensive, and includes such items as operations handbooks, systems
diagrams, briefing outlines, reports and mission simulator manuals.
Subseries C: Project Apollo, 1964-1967, n.d., contains similar materials, in addition to spacecraft manuals, study guides
and charts.
Series II: NASA Computer Systems, 1962-1966, n.d., includes programmer manuals for the various computer systems used by NASA
during the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs. The majority of the materials in this series concern the DDP general computer
system.
Series III: NASA Public Information, 1962-1991, n.d., consists of materials which were produced for public education, unlike
the previous series. The series contains NASA Fact Sheets and NASA Educational Briefs, other general public information booklets,
a symposium report and a set of astronaut photo portraits, all produced to familiarize the public with NASA's activities,
personnel and facilities.
Series IV: General Materials, 1969-2001, n.d., contains materials related to space exploration but not produced by NASA. The
series includes magazine articles and a "Sounds of Space" recording.
The collection is arranged according to subject matter in the following series:
Series I: NASA Programs, 1963-1967, n.d. This series has been further divided into the following subseries:
Subseries A: Project Mercury, 1963, n.d.
Subseries B: Project Gemini, 1963-1966, n.d.
Subseries C: Project Apollo, 1964-1967, n.d.
Series II: NASA Computer Systems, 1962-1966, n.d.
Series III: NASA Public Information, 1962-1991, n.d.
Series IV: General Materials, 1969-2001, n.d.
