Second edition in full color Journey through space and time with To Rise From Earth, Second Edition and explore the history and technology of spaceflight, presented in breathtaking full-color photographs and illustrations, detailed charts and diagrams, and easy-to-under-stand text. Without using a single mathematical formula or complicated scientific jargon, this book explains the functions and roles of satellites, the forces and masses fueling rocket science, the logistics of launching a shuttle into space, and much, much more. From Atlantis to Endeavor, Sputnik to Galileo, and the Hubble Space Telescope to the International Space Station, To Rise From Earth, Second Edition examines the bodies that grace the heavens, and the men and women who have labored to send both machines and humans into space. In seven highly readable and carefully organized chapters, To Rise From Earth, Second Edition provides an introduction to orbits and rockets by explaining their different types and functions; discusses orbital mechanics in detail - without using math; explores how space maneuvers are performed, including how spacecraft can rendezvous or capture disabled craft and satellites; recounts the cold war race to the Moon, beginning with the efforts of Robert Goddard and Wernher von Braun, through the early successes of the Soviet space program and Sputnik; explains how space shuttles are processed for flight, how they operate, and the different missions that astronauts fly; explores each planet in the Solar System äs well äs asteroids, comets, and the Sun, detailing the neces-sary Steps NASA takes to journey to these distant places; and looks ahead to the future of space travel, including the International Space Station and future travel to Mars. Thoroughly updated with new sections on reusable launch vehicles and the International Space Station, and a completely revised chapter on Mars exploration, To Rise From Earth, Second Edition conveys the drama, ingenuity, and sheer determination that have marked humankind's ascent to the final frontier.
