COMPASS Final Report: Radioisotope Electric Propulsion (REP) Centaur Orbiter New Frontiers Mission
ISBN: 9781503248984 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 78 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Radioisotope Electric Propulsion (REP) has been shown in past studies to enable missions to outer planetary bodies including the orbiting of Centaur asteroids. Key to the feasibility for REP missions are long life, low power electric propulsion (EP) devices, low mass Radioisotope Power System (RPS) and light spacecraft (S/C) components. In order to determine the key parameters for EP devices to perform these REP missions a design study was completed to design an REP S/C to orbit a Centaur in a New Frontiers (NF) cost cap. The design shows that an orbiter using several long lived (approx. 200...

Astronautics and Aeronautics, 1974: A Chronology
ISBN: 9781495485398 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This chronological collection of aeronautical and space events of 1974 shows that the emphasis in technology has shifted from the problems of how to operate in air and space to the practical use of those environments to meet human needs. Although the immediate use of technology was emphasized in 1974, NASA also looked to the future. In NASA's 1974 total, 11 spacecraft were paid for by non-NASA users; 10 were international. In addition, two Italian launches used NASA launch vehicles. Operational satellites-all of whose costs, including launch costs, were paid for by others-included six for...

Space Science in the Twenty-First Century: Imperatives for the Decades 1995 to 2015: Mission to Planet Earth
ISBN: 9781502793836 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 138 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Early in 1984, NASA asked the Space Science Board to undertake a study to determine the principal scientific issues that the disciplines of space science would face during the period from about 1995 to 2015. This request was made partly because NASA expected the Space Station to become available at the beginning of this period, and partly because the missions needed to implement research strategies previously developed by the various committees of the board should have been launched or their development under way by that time. A two-year study was called for. To carry out the study the board...

Astronautics and Aeronautics, 1969: Chronology on Science, Technology, and Policy
ISBN: 9781495469374 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 544 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. History is a word with varied meanings. They range from one conveying idealistic images, to fat books of ultimate truth, to the professional's prejudices concerning history as an intellectual discipline. To those of us who have been privileged to be wholly immersed in science and technology of aeronautics and space over a number of years, history perhaps is the sense of accomplishment. While this chronology volume is not a history, it does attempt to provide a first-cut reference to events and commentary during a most crowded year and the year that man first set foot upon an extraterrestrial...

Starting in January 2004, the NESC has received several communications from knowledgeable technical experts at NASA expressing shared concerns (mainly at the Langley Research Center (LaRC) and Ames Research Center (ARC)) about Huygens mission success. It was suggested that NASA become more technically involved directly in the analysis of Huygens' entry, descent and landing (EDL) focusing on the following primary concerns: 1. The parachute deployment trigger performance and the resultant effects on the operation of the parachute system, and 2. The determination of the radiative heating...

Living Aloft: Human Requirements for Extended Spaceflight
ISBN: 9781495327483 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Since the earliest days of spaceflight, substantial concern has been expressed regarding the physical needs of astronauts, including any biological damage that might result from exposure to radiation or from reduction in gravitational forces. In contrast, relatively little concern has been directed towards people's psychological and social adjustment to space. At one time this difference in emphasis was justified. The Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo flights were measured in hours and days and it could be reasonably assumed that astronauts would be able to withstand certain deprivations for these...

Astronautics and Aeronautics, 1964: Chronology on Science, Technology, and Policy
ISBN: 9781495456374 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 536 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The year 1964, the seventh of the space age, was a year of achievement, especially in space science. It was also a building year in which many components and techniques basic to manned flight capability were proved out. Because of the foundations laid in 1964, we can proceed with more sureness toward the long-duration manned missions, culminating with the moon landing, scheduled for the coming years. The dramatic flight of RANGER VII leads the list of accomplishments. Before crashing into the moon, the satellite snapped more than 4,000 photographs of its surface. Many of the pictures were of...
