Comet/Asteroid Protection System (CAPS): Preliminary Space-Based System Concept and Study Results
ISBN: 9781503338852 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. An enormous number of asteroids and comets orbit the Sun, ranging in size from pebbles to mountains. Earth approaching asteroids and comets are collectively termed near-Earth objects (NEOs). Fortunately, only a tiny number of these objects cross the Earth's orbit, and our atmosphere protects us from small and structurally weak objects; however, smaller NEOs vastly outnumber the larger, thus resulting in a higher impact frequency. The goal of current search efforts is to catalog and characterize by 2008 the orbits of 90 percent of near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) larger than 1 km in diameter,...

NASA Accident Precursor Analysis Handbook
ISBN: 9781502975188 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 114 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Catastrophic accidents are usually preceded by precursory events that, although observable, are not recognized as harbingers of a tragedy until after the fact. In the nuclear industry, the Three Mile Island accident was preceded by at least two events portending the potential for severe consequences from an underappreciated causal mechanism. Anomalies whose failure mechanisms were integral to the losses of Space Transportation Systems (STS) Challenger and Columbia had been occurring within the STS fleet prior to those accidents. Both the Rogers Commission Report and the Columbia Accident...

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...

The Apollo Spacecraft - A Chronology: Volume III - October 1, 1964 - January 20, 1966
ISBN: 9781495414091 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This third volume of the Apollo Spacecraft Chronology covers the sixteen-month period from October 1, 1964, to January 20, 1966. During this period the major emphasis of the program was on the detailed engineering of the three spacecraft being manufactured by North American and Grumman. All major decisions had been made and now within the confines of these decisions spacecraft must be designed and built that would safely provide transportation for men and equipment to the lunar surface and back. One of the most confining of these decisions was the agreed upon payload of the Saturn V. It was...
