Does anyone know why Kennedy Space Center is not posting PDFs of the earlier editions of Spaceport News? Been waiting quite a while to complete the gaps in my collection.If anyone wishes PDF copies of editions from January 1968 through to 1976, let me know. |

The message on their webpage says: "A retrospective scanning project is in progress. Additional issues will be added as they become available."They don't seem to have added any pre-1996 issues since I first saw that same message years ago. |

Yes, it must be in the order of three/four years that notice has been displayed. On a number of occasions I have emailed the Spaceport News office regarding the progress of the scanning work but I never receive an answer. Also, I have had no success with FOIA requests!

Spaceport News ran from December 13, 1962 until the final issue on February 24, 2014. The first two 1962 issues have been scanned, and then there is a huge gap until the next scanned issue in 1996. |

I have a complete run of Spaceport News, in pdf format, from January 1968 to its end (with the odd one or two from 1967), and of course the two from 1962. I thought we were on to a winner when the two '62 issues appeared and looked forward to completing the gap. Maybe one day! |

I like the "Remembering Our Heritage" articles in the later issues that have been scanned.

Yes, I agree with that. There are some nice snippets to be found. |

I'd be interested in the August 20, 1973 Vol 12 Issue 17 in soft copy (pdf) if you have it available. Thanks! |
