INTERNATIONAL
PROGRAM

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's inter-

national activities are based on the National Aeronautics
and Space Act of 1958 which provides that United States
space activities be conducted so that they contribute
materially to cooperation with other nations and groups of
nations. In its international cooperative activities NASA
demonstrates peaceful purposes, profits from foreign scien-
tific and financial contributions to common space objectives,
and shares the resulting benefits.

NASA has entered into more than 500 aqreements for inter-
national space projectsi orbited 24 foreign satellites on
a cooperative or reimbursable basisp flown 26 foreiqn ex-

III. SPACE APP~ICATIONS

Communications Satellites
Experimental communications satellites have for the past decade
been an elment in international collaboration.
Under an agreement with India, MASA will make available its
A2S-1 satellite scheduled for launching in 1974, for a one-year
Indian instructional television experiment. Some 2,000 villages
will be equipped to receive signals directly from the satellite
by means of augmented TV receivers and 3,000 villages will re-
ceive programs through conventional ground relay stations. A
unique feature al this experiment is the testing of the technical
feasibility of satellite TV broadcast directly to community
receivers in an operational. setting. India is responsible for
the construation of ground transmitters, the design and production
of augmented TV receivers, the planning of instructional programs
and the logistics required to coordinate and support all elemence
of the system.
in the earlyRelay, Tealtar and Slyoo p0ents
xari a dozen
couantries built ground c•rainals at their own pon s to
work with NASA in testing these satellites Building in
part on the beginnings, ITMAT has evolved into an
nter@ational orgnisatioa of aore than 80 hmbers which
has greatly xpanded leica-in-Ications oapacity intUerna
tionally, reduced costs substantially, and provided reliable
international n-Mininton links to large portions of the
globe for the first time. By 1974, more than ground
statios for atellites will have been tablished in about
60 aountries.

The launoh of the first Marth Resources Technology Satellite

is to conduct experiments to deteri•e the usefulness of

This is a new area for spa applications and one with great

objective of the oooperation is to study the application of
earth obervation atellites to the detection of enviroa-

Canada
The Canadian Department of Industry, Trade and CoameroC*
(DITC) and NASA have sponsored a joint program to test the
Augmentor Wing Powered Lift Principle in flight, a promising
wing configuration for short takeoff and landing (STOL)
aircraft. An extensively and specially modified aircraft,

The flight program oonduoted by WASA's Ames Research Center

in California ontails over 100 hours of flight tests and
is to be oompleted by the samer of 1973. Flight tests
were preceded by extensive wind tunnel research also
jointly funded by Canada and the U.S.

The Frenoh national office of Aerospaoe Research (OWMM) and

MSA completed in 1972 a oooperative wind tunnel research
program to toet tilt rotors tor V/STOL aircraft. Wind
tunnels in the U.S. and Franca were used in carrying out
the project.

The German Federal Ministry for ducation and Sioence and

NASA conducted two cooperative projects during 1969-70
based on the Dornior 31 (DO-31) Aircraft, a unique advanced
Jot V/STOL Transport, Zn the first project, NAA conducted
Fi ght sinulation Programs to study stability, control and
handling qualities during landing, transition and descent
phases of flight. In the soond, NASA pilots flow the
DO-31 for approximately 12 1/2 hours to test performance
limitations under various V/STOL descent and ascent
conditions.
United ingdom
Aeronautical authorities oi ao United Xingdom and WASA
have agreed to conduot special research projects of mutual
interest in addition to many le•s formal eha nges. The
first such project utilised the Hunting-126 tirraft
(Jet-Flap V/STOL)e for full-scale wind tunnal tste. The
socond was a cooperative roearch program on selected run-
way urtfoo in the OU.. ad the U.S. A third involved
flight testing in the U.X. of IAIs's X1-51 rigid rotor
helicopter. The fourth. presen tly in progres, involves
research to evaluate vectoring in forward flight (VIr)
of engine exhaust nossles oan VTO aircraft.

NASA has established through its i~ternatioal programs a

broad base of institties, faeilitia, oompetaeoo, aad
patterns of cooperatio from which it can move forward in
the future. It is engaged in a major now effort to increase
