Aggiungi al carrelloSoftcover. From the late 1950s, when the former USSR launched its Lunik probes, to the mid 1970s and the United States' successful manned flights to the Moon, lunar exploration was high on the superpowers' space agendas. In Lunar Exploration: Human Pioneers and Robotic Surveyors, Paolo Ulivi gives a lucid and accessible account…of man's attempts to reach the Moon. As well äs covering the well-documented manned and unmanned missions, he draws on recently declassified information to describe Chinese lunar exploration projects and how lunar nuclear weapons were developed by the superpowers in the 1950s. Since the mid 1970s, there have been few missions to the Moon but interest is once again on the increase. The United States has developed its Clementine and Lunar Prospector spacecraft, both Japan and the European Space Agency are involved in lunar missions, and there is interest from China and India, and hope that Russia will again become involved. Perhaps a new age of lunar exploration is about to begin. 363 p. many photos and illustrations very good condition, with a name label of the previous owner.

Aggiungi al carrelloSoftcover. THE APOLLO PROGRAMME is mostly remembered for the first manned flight around the moon during Christmas 1968, the six manned landings between 1969 and 1972 and the dramatic rescue of the Apollo 13 crew in 1970. Apollo hardware was also used in the Skylab Space Station Programme during 1973 and for a joint docking missi…on with the Soviet Union in 1975. But the programme was intended to be much more far-reaching than just these few missions. From the early 1960s, plans to utilise Apollo hardware for other missions expanded into the Apollo Applications Programme. In this, extended scientific research flights in Earth orbit would complement an extensive exploration of the Moon and evolve into the first manned planetary expeditions to the planet Mars. In Apollo: The Lostand Forgotten Missions David Shayler chronicles these developments in adapting the lunar hardware to meet other objectives. In addition the unflown mission of Apollo 1, the lost moonwalks of Apollo 13 and the cancelled moon shots of Apollos 18, 19 and 20 are recalled. Apollo was not only a programme of eleven manned missions, a pioneering space Station and the beginnings of international cooperation, but also a programme of lost dreams and abandoned opportunities. 344 p. photos and illustrations very good condition, with a name sticker of the previous owner.

Aggiungi al carrelloSoftcover. Almost 50 years ago, Yuri Gagarin moved the world into a new era of exploration, that of manned spaceflight. Over the next five decades and over 250 missions later, almost 500 individuals from countries around the globe have followed him into space. Yet only 27 astronauts have ventured beyond Earth orbit and then only… as far as the Moon. As we plan for a return to the Moon and onwards to Mars, it is timely to look back at these missions and review their successes and achievements, as well as their setbacks. Praxis Manned Spaceflight Log is a comprehensive guide to all the space missions, from Gagarin to the ISS and the latest Chinese Shenzhou missions. A chronological sequence of Orbital flights includes facts on the sub-orbital and ballistic flights that are a fundamental part of the quest for space. Also featured are: - a summary of manned spaceflight mission profiles and programmes - 'space' flights of the X-15 rocket plane and X-Prize winner Spaceship 1 - all manned missions to the Moon and to space stations - sub orbital manned spaceflights - accidents, aborts and abandoned missions This book is an invaluable companion to the range of manned spaceflight books from Springer-Praxis. 829 p. many photos very good condition, with a namesticker of the previous owner.

Aggiungi al carrelloSoftcover. Today we think of manned space flight as almost routine Despite this, the fact is that the human exploration of space has always pushed the boundaries of science and technology and once in a while things can go terribly wrong. NASA's rare major disasters and near-misses - like the explosion of the Challenger space shu…ttle with the loss of its crew (the illustrations on the cover of this book), and the nerve-wracking flight of the crippled Apollo 13 - hit the headlines but many other accidents, particularly in the Russian space Programme, have gone mostly unreported. David Shayler presents, for the first time, a detailed but immensely readable review of accidents in human space flight from the beginnings of stratospheric travel to the present day. This wide-ranging survey also features nine detailed case histories, reviews the theory of risks and accidents, and looks forward to the next developments in space travel, with the construction of the International Space Station. Manned spaceflight will never be risk-free, but the lessons learnt from the past mistakes so graphically described here can certainly make it safer. 470 p. photos and illustrations very good condition, with a namesticker of the previous owner.

Aggiungi al carrelloSoftcover. The Japanese and Indian Space Programme* tells the story of two nations and the contrasting development of their space programmes. Japan became the fourth nation in space in 1970, having begun its commitment to a space programme as early as the 1950s. Since then, Japan has become one of the most successful spacefaring… nations, having flown space probes to the Moon, Mars and comet Halley. India's space programme is a unique attempt to put space research at the service of economic development. India has built rockets to place in orbit sophisticated satellites for use in weather forecasting, cyclone warning, Earth resources observations, Communications and basic education. Asia will be the leading region for space development in the early 21 st Century. This book compares and contrasts the Japanese and Indian space programmes, how they have developed and how they are likely to proceed in the future. It teils the story of the visionaries, the scientists and the engineers, with their successes, adventures, disappointments and dreams. 210 p. photos very good condition, with a namesticker of the previous owner.

Aggiungi al carrelloSoftcover. First Edition In May 1961 President John F. Kennedy promised the American people that there would be a manned Moon landing by the end of the decade - but at this time the longest that any astronaut had spent in space was 15 minutes. In his speech, Kennedy spoke of the mammoth efforts needed to achieve this goal, in co…mmitment, funds and technology. Gemini: Steps to the Moon is the story of the second phase of that effort, from the perspective of the engineers, flight controllers and astronauts who were involved. It follows the development of the program from its earliest days to the splashdown of the final mission in November 1966. David Shayler documents the growing mastery of the essential challenges of extended duration flight, rendezvous and docking, space-walking and the creation of an experienced team of astronauts and flight controllers. Drawing upon air-to-ground commentary, as well as interviews and personal recollections, the 'bridge to Apollo' is constructed chapter by exciting chapter. 433 p. many photos and illustrations very good condition, with a namesticker of the previous owner.

Aggiungi al carrelloSoftcover. Condizione: excellent condition, new book. The book focuses on the design, testing and manufacture of the F-1 engine, but also covers its incorporation into the first stage of the Saturn V and in-flight record. It concludes with an examination of what might have been, if the F-1 had not been discarded, together with t…he Saturn V, at the conclusion of the Apollo program. The account draws on original documents and interviews with engineers and managers, and is illustrated by many never-before-published photographs, both colour and monochrome. The intention is for this to be the definitive account of the development of this most powerful of rocket engines. As NASA is developing an evolved version of the hydrogen-burning J-2 engine for use in the forthcoming Ares launch vehicles, the author includes development of the J-2 engine within the context of the Saturn V development, thus bringing rocket engine development up to the present and thus provide this book with a long shelf life. 266 p. many photos and illustrations.

Aggiungi al carrelloHardcover. First Eddition Only five years after launching Explorer, its first primitive satellite, the USA was putting men into space in the first American manned spaceflight programme, Mercury. How was the technology developed, what were the problems to be overcome, and who were the people behind this programme? Project Mercury… details the development of the Mercury programme, together with its associated infrastructure. It highlights the differences in Redstone/Atlas technology, drawing comparisons between ballistic capsules and alternative types of spacecraft. Astronaut selection and training is also covered, as well as tracking systems, flight control, basic principles of spaceflight and detailed accounts of individual flights. This book - gives a detailed review of the pioneering Project Mercury, including the basic principles of rocket propulsion, orbital flight, re-entry and recovery - places the Mercury program into its proper technological and socio-political perspectives -tells the very human stories inside the project, such as Gus Grissom's precarious rescue from his sinking spacecraft, Liberty-Bell 7 (recently recovered from the ocean floor and on permanent display at the Kansas Space and Cosmosphere, Kansas). 485 p. many photos and illustrations very good condition, with a namesticker of the previous owner.
