Full Description:
|
At the Electronics Research Center (ERC), crystals less than 1/1,000th of an inch thick were "grown" for microwave experiments. The Center's scientists generated higher frequency microwaves which were important for future NASA missions in spacecraft transmitters, because they were expected to improve the efficiency of microwave signal transmission in space. ERC opened in September 1964 and has the particular distinction of being the only NASA Center to close, shutting down in June 1970. Its mission was to develop new electronics and training new graduates as well as NASA employees. The ERC actually grew while NASA eliminated major programs and cut staff in other areas. Between 1967 and 1970, NASA cut permanent civil service workers at all Centers with one exception, the ERC, whose personnel grew annually until its closure. For more information about the ERC, please see http://history.nasa…[ http://history.nasa…]
