Provenance: From the Estate of Max Faget.
Dr. Maxime "Max" A. Faget (1921–2004) received a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering from Louisiana State University in 1943, then served as a U.S. Navy submarine officer in the South Pacific during World War II. After the war, he joined the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) in 1946. When NACA became NASA in 1958, he was heavily involved in Project Mercury as the lead spacecraft designer and developed the concept for the Mercury escape rocket which was later applied during the Apollo Program. His next work was in the development of the Space Shuttle during the very late 1960's and early 1970's. During his career he wrote or co-author dozens of technical papers and books on many topics relating to aircraft, rocketry, spacecraft design and reentry. Dr. Faget retired from NASA in 1981.
