NASA/NACA Technical Reports and Memoranda serve as a form of documentation for the research and development activities conducted by NASA and its predecessor, NACA. These reports contain detailed information about experiments, findings, and analyses related to a wide range of topics in aerospace engineering, technology, and science.
NASA/NACA Technical Reports and Memoranda are available for free online through the NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) website. Users can search for specific reports or browse through different categories and collections. Some reports may also be available in print at select libraries and institutions.
While some NASA/NACA Technical Reports and Memoranda may have undergone peer-review, not all of them have gone through this process. Instead, these reports are primarily intended to serve as a record of research and development activities, and are not necessarily subject to the same level of review as scientific publications.
Yes, NASA/NACA Technical Reports and Memoranda can be cited in research, as they provide valuable information and data. However, it is important to note that these reports may not have gone through the same level of scrutiny as peer-reviewed publications, so it is important to use them critically and in conjunction with other sources.
Most NASA/NACA Technical Reports and Memoranda are in the public domain, meaning they are not subject to copyright restrictions.
