Astronautics and Aeronautics, 1972: Chronology of Science, Technology, and Policy
ISBN: 9781495485305 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 594 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. NASA's twelfth annual chronology of events in astronautics and aeronautics reflects a U.S. space program redefined to be less costly and perhaps less spectacular in the 1970s than in the previous decade-yet this volume records a continued and indeed matured response to the challenges of space, both in scientific exploration and in practical uses. The year 1972 closed with the triumphant end of the Apollo program. The mass of data from the manned explorations of the moon and data still being collected by instruments left on the moon's surface combined with events on earth to intensify...

Astronautics and Aeronautics, 1973: Chronology of Science, Technology, and Policy
ISBN: 9781502857279 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 490 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This volume in NASA's continuing series of annual chronologies records the events of 1973. The 15th year of the space agency's existence is memorable to the public as the Year of Skylab and the Year of Jupiter. The nation's first earth-orbital laboratory was launched. Beginning with a dramatic 10-day fix-it effort that restored Skylab's capability to generate electrical power, three three-man crews rendezvoused and docked with the space laboratory. Their total of 12 351 man-hours in space supported the feasibility of prolonged manned space flight. Even more impressive were the volume and...

ISBN: 9781502845955 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Finding an effective and reasonably objective method for setting priorities across scientific disciplines is something of a holy grail of science policy, and one whose urgency continues to grow. The Space Studies Board Task Group on Priorities in Space Research presented a thorough analysis of the pros and cons of priority setting and recommended that an effort to develop such a method proceed. The next phase involved this task group, and eventually the full Board, in an ambitious attempt to construct a formal, semiquantitative methodology to set priorities among major space science projects...

Airplane Upset Training Evaluation Report
ISBN: 9781505569087 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 578 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the last decades, loss of control in flight was the largest category of commercial jet fatal accidents worldwide. Precipitating factors in these accidents have included equipment failures and system anomalies, weather phenomena, inappropriate use of flight controls or systems, inappropriate control responses by crew, or some combination of these factors. In many of these accidents flight crews could have recovered from the initial upset attitude by promptly applying appropriate control inputs. However, recovery from upset attitudes is challenging, even for highly experienced airline...

Development of Autonomous Aerobraking (Phase 1)
ISBN: 9781503235007 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. NASA uses aerobraking (AB) to reduce the fuel required to deliver a spacecraft into its desired final orbit around a target planet or moon with a significant atmosphere. Instead of using the propulsion system to decelerate the spacecraft, AB utilizes aerodynamic drag. While flying through the upper atmosphere of the planet or moon multiple times, the spacecraft maintains a periapsis control corridor such that dynamic pressure and thermal loads on the spacecraft remain within designed parameters. AB has been used four times by NASA: once at Venus and three times at Mars. Although AB reduces...
