- Nóta About the time of the Stever Committee report (1958), NASA established the Life Sciences Committee with Dr. William Randolph Lovelace II as chair. Lovelace reported directly to the NASA Administrator until March 30, 1960, when the Committee was dissolved. The Committee’s objective was to study the immediate medical problems associated with manned space flight. The Committee, which included two members from the Stever Committee, General Don Flickinger and Dr. W. Haskell Langham, was focused on organization and administrative functions with limited technical or programmatic influence. The Lovelace committee provided invaluable professional counsel as the manned space program quickly began to take shape in Project Mercury. In addition, the Department of Defense (DoD) requested that the National Research Council establish the Armed Forces NRC Committee on Bioastronautics under the direction of Flickinger. This group and Lovelace’s group worked closely together during this period.
