MURPHY Published by the Smithsonian Institution Press, Washington, D.C., 1976 Museum Logo Welcome to the National Air and Space Museum, part of the Smithsonian family. The flight of the Wrights in 1903 opened the door to ever more rapid and powerful ascents into the third dimension. This country, putting its scientific and technical talents to work, has produced an array of fascinating and complex machines. Fortunately, nearly all of the most significant ones have been preserved, and a sampling of them is included in this booklet. I hope that you will enjoy it, and that it will add to your understanding of what air and space progress has meant to all of us. Michael Collins Michael Collins Director, National Air and Space Museum Viking 2—bound for Mars—is launched aboard Titan Centaur on September 9, 1975.
