Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This book describes the future of the Artemis Lunar Program from the years 2017 to about 2030. Despite the uncertainty of the times and the present state of space exploration, it is likely that what is presented in this book will actually happen, to one degree or another. As history has taught us, predictions are often difficult, but one can see enough into the future to be somewhat accurate. As the Bible says, Wesee thru the glass, but darkly.All of the elements of the proposed program are described from several perspectives: NASAs, the commercial space industry and our International partners. Also included are descriptions of the many vehicles, habitats, landers, payloads and experiments. The book tells the story of the buildup of a very small space station in a strange new lunar orbit and the descent of payloads and humans, including the first women and next man, to the lunar surface with the intent to evolve a sustained presence over time.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This book describes the history of this now iconic room which represents Americas space program during the Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, Apollo-Soyuz and early Space Shuttle eras. It is now a National Historic Landmark and is being restored to a level which represents the day the flight control teams walked out after the last lunar landing missions. The book is dedicated to the estimated 3,000 men and women who supported the flights and tells the story from their perspective. It describes the rooms of people supporting this control center; those rooms of engineers, analysts and scientists most people never knew about. Some called it a shrine and some called it a cathedral. Now it will be restored to its former glory and soon thousands will be able to view the place where America flew to the moon.

Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; crease to upper inside corner of back corner; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; This book is a collective effort on the part of many of the NASA flight controllers who "manned" the front row of consoles in Mission Control during the preeminent days of America's Manned Spaceflight Program. These controllers were the singular group in Mission Control Houston that was formed to work as a team. They were known as The TRENCH. In that same team spirit, this book about them and by them has been a collective endeavor. They have contributed their own mini autobiographies of life events that shaped their character and their roles and contributions that carried Man to the moon.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book explores the once popular idea of 'Flexible Path' in terms of Mars, a strategy that would focus ona mannedorbital mission to Mars's moons rather than the more risky, expensive and time-consuming triptoland humans on theMartian surface. While currently still not the most popular idea, this missionwould takeadvantage of the operational, scientific and engineering lessons to be learned from going to Mars's moons first. Unlike a trip to the planet's surface, an orbital mission avoids the dangers of the deep gravity well of Mars and a very long stay on the surface. This is analogous to Apollo 8 and 10, which preceded the landing on the Moon of Apollo 11. Furthermore, a Mars orbital mission could be achieved at least five years, possibly 10 before a landing mission. Nor would an orbital mission require all of the extra vehicles, equipment and supplies needed for a landing and a stay on the planet for over a year. The cost difference between the two types of missions is in the order of tens of billions of dollars.An orbital mission to Deimos and Phobos would provide an early opportunity to acquire scientific knowledge of the moons and Mars as well, since some of the regolith is presumed to be soil ejected from Mars. It may also offer the opportunity to deploy scientific instruments on the moons which would aid subsequent missions. It would provide early operational experience in the Mars environment without the risk of a landing. The author convincingly argues this experience would enhance the probability of a safe and successful Mars landing by NASA at a later date, and lays out the best way to approach an orbital mission in great detail.Combining path-breaking science with achievable goals on a fast timetable, this approach is the best of both worlds--and our best path to reaching Mars safely in the future.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book explores the practicality of using the existing subsurfacegeology on the Moon and Mars for protection against radiation,thermal extremes, micrometeorites and dust storms rather thanbuilding surface habitats at great expense at least for those first fewmissions. It encourages NASA to plan a precursor mission using thisconcept and employ a 'Short Stay' Opposition Class mission to Mars as thefirst mission rather than the 'Long Stay' concept requiring a mission that istoo long, too dangerous and too costly for man's first missions to Mars.Included in these pages is a short history on the uses of caves by earlyhumans over great periods of time. It then describes the ongoing effortsto research caves, pits, tunnels, lava tubes, skylights and the associatedtechnologies that pertain to potential lunar and Mars exploration andhabitation. It describes evidence for existing caves and lava tubes onboth the Moon and Mars. The work of noted scientists, technologistsand roboticists are referenced and described. This ongoing work is moreextensive than one would think and is directly applicable to longer termhabitation and exploration of the Moon and Mars. Emphasis is also givento the operational aspects of working and living in lunar and Martian cavesand lava tubes.…
