Sub-Series 2: Italian National Space Plan

From July 1981 to June 1982, John Disher resided in Rome, Italy, working under contract with the Italian government’s CNR/PSN (In English, the acronym translates as "Council of National Research/National Space Plan"). CNR/PSN hired him to work on the Tethered Satellite System, or TSS, a project jointly developed with NASA. Tethered satellites were designed to be launched from a space shuttle and remain attached to it for the purpose of scientific experimentation. Subseries items include correspondence, reports, meeting minutes, outlines of presentations, handwritten and typed notes and newspaper clippings. Some professional papers on potential applications of tethered satellite systems are included as well.

Sub-Series 3: General Consulting and Engineering

General Consulting and Engineering, an Italian engineering consulting firm, hired Disher to assist them on a contract with the Italian CNR/PSN. This contract involved technical and management assistance to CNR/PSN for the Lageos 2 satellite project. The Lageos 2 satellite was launched into orbit by the Italian Research Interim Stage, or IRIS, an Italian CNR/PSN space program developed to oversee satellite missions. The first Lageos satellite was launched by United States in 1976. Its purpose was to measure the movements of the earth's crust and rotation. In 1982, NASA and CNR/PSN established a joint study group to consider the potential benefits of a second Lageos satellite. The group highly recommended such a satellite, feeling that much additional information on the earth and its rotation could be obtained. Materials in the sub-series date from 1981-1983 and include reports of the NASA/PSN study group, Disher's reports to and correspondence with General Consulting and Engineering and a CNR/PSN document explaining IRIS.

Sub-Series 4: Aeritalia

Aeritalia, an Italian aerospace company, contracted Disher to work on Project Columbus in 1983. Project Columbus was a planned European Space Agency (ESA) contribution to the proposed international manned space station, which was then being developed under U.S. leadership. The name "Columbus" was a reference to the scheduled launch date of 1992, five hundred years after Christopher Columbus's initial voyage to North America.

Project Columbus was derived from an earlier NASA/ESA collaboration known as Spacelab. Spacelab was a scientific research center inside a space shuttle orbiter cargo bay. Unlike the earlier Skylab, Spacelab could return to Earth after each mission. With Columbus, ESA hoped to improve on Spacelab with "free-flying, autonomous elements which can either be docked to the planned American space station or deployed independently for extended missions in near-earth orbits." (Press release, Box 5, Folder 48). The materials include articles and publications, papers, presentation outlines and written notes by Disher. Information pertaining to both Spacelab and Columbus is present.

Sub-Series 5: LeRoy E. Day and Associates

LeRoy Day and Associates, an aerospace consulting firm, hired Disher in 1985. Disher was to assist in completing a contract for the Japanese company Nissho Iwai, who had in turn been contracted by NASA for work on a manned space station habitability module.  This subseries includes correspondence, reports, papers, Disher's handwritten notes and newspaper clippings. Many materials pertain to life support systems in space and concern matters such as astronaut food and hygiene. Some items, such as NASA Research Animal Holding Facility reports, document previous life sciences research.

Sub-Series 6: JLC Aerospace

Disher completed two contracts for JLC Aerospace in 1987. The first involved a joint project between JLC Aerospace and the Planning Research Council (PRC) to produce a report on the lessons learned from the space shuttle Challenger accident and their application for the proposed manned space station. The final JLC/PRC report, "Space Station Lessons Learned from Challenger" is included in this subseries. Also included are correspondence between Disher and JLC Aerospace, and a magazine article and NASA documents on the Challenger accident.

For Disher's second contract with JLC Aerospace, he served on JLC's Space Advisory Committee (SPAC). This committee produced a paper entitled "An Assessment of U.S. Civil Space Goals," a copy of which is included in this subseries. A large part of this report evaluated three previous reports on the same topic. These are the Ride Report, the Paine Report and the AIAA Report. The Ride Report, entitled "NASA Leadership and America's Future in Space" was a report by astronaut Sally Ride to NASA Administrator James Fletcher. The Paine Report, entitled "Pioneering the Space Frontier" was produced by the National Commission on Space. It is named for Thomas Paine, a former NASA Administrator and member of the Commission. Other notable Commission members included Astronaut Neil Armstrong, former United States Representative to the United Nations Jeanne J. Kirkpatrick and U.S. Air Force General Chuck Yeager. The AIAA report, entitled "U.S. Civil Space Program: An AIAA Assessment," was authored by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Copies of all three reports are included in this subseries. Correspondence, handwritten notes and typed comments document the thoughts and opinions of Disher and other SPAC members on the three reports. The Committee also refers to the Collins Report, the final report of the NASA Space Goals Task Force, headed by astronaut Michael Collins. This report, also included in the subseries, is smaller and less detailed than the three mentioned above.

Sub-Series 7: Miscellaneous Avanti Clients

Materials in this subseries consist largely of copies of contracts and some correspondence. Clients in this subseries contracted Disher's services for various reasons. In some cases, the contract only specifies that Disher's services remain available for a certain client during a specific length of time. Notable projects include furnishing breakdown costs on the proposed manned space station to United Technologies and serving on Hernandez Engineering's task force to assess losses in the Challenger accident. The Advanced Technologies, or "Adtech" project is also worthy of mention. Disher contracted with this company to work on a proposal to NASA for "Advanced Programs and Plans Support." A copy of this proposal is included in the "Advanced Technologies" file.
