James Donahue Burke (September 18, 1925 – August 19, 2023) was an American lunar settlement and exploration expert. He was known for being the first manager of the Ranger program, and considered one of the pioneers of America's space program.

In his time at JPL, Burke was the Vega program director, developing the third stage of the general-purpose Vega launch vehicle, which was based on the Atlas rocket.

Following JPL's transfer from the U.S. Navy to NASA,[clarification needed] and reorganization during early 1960, the Lunar and Planetary Program was created. Burke was named deputy of the Lunar Program under Clifford Cummings, before becoming the Ranger Spacecraft Project Manager as well.

THIS BOOK CAME FROM THE HOME OF MR BURKE. IT HAS HIS SIGNATURE AS SHOWN.
