Recensione
From the reviews:
"This carefully researched and written book develops a unique presentation of international space activity from a safety perspective. Shayler, an aeronautical historian, has made an immense effort in providing details on such topics as space rescue ... . The attractive cover provides clear support for the title, and the figures and pictures create understandable views for related discussions. This book should be available in public libraries and offered as a resource for graduate space courses. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals; general readers."

Gr.-8°, Original Karton. 356 Seiten. In Space Rescue: Ensuring the Safety of Manned Spacecraft, author David J. Shayler reviews the development of crew survival and escape methods from the earliest designs of manned spacecraft to the current discussions of systems for ISS and on to the future prospect of sending men and women out towards Mars. David Shayler reviews the numerous proposed systems of crew rescue and also analyses the adopted systems of ejection seats, escape towers and abort profiles during the ascent from Earth to space, including the safety requirements and contingency procedures available during various mission profiles to get the crew safely back to Earth. The author also examines the various wilderness training programs and abort simulations used to help prepare the crews for almost any unplanned and emergency contingency they may face during their mission.
