Astronautics and Aeronautics, 1967: Chronology on Science, Technology, and Policy
ISBN: 9781495469244 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 498 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The first decade of the Space Age is behind us and now in the hands of the historians. It was a period of dynamic advance, bringing new appreciations of our solar environment and new capabilities to develop and exploit advancing knowledge and techniques. Since the space challenge of the next decade is likely to be just as demanding and rewarding as that of the last one, perhaps we may gain useful perspective by reflecting upon our experiences even as we contemplate tomorrow. Ten years ago our planning for the future required the piecing together and development of the organization and...

Exploring the Living Universe: A Strategy for Space Life Sciences
ISBN: 9781502846297 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Visionaries have long speculated over a future in which humans understand the scientific truth about their origins, control their environment on Earth, and live successfully outside of that environment. Their speculations, however, have frequently overlooked some fundamental facts: that the universe is complex and mostly inhospitable and that life as we know it evolved in the protective shelter of an atmosphere and a constant gravitational force. The knowledge obtained by space life sciences will play a pivotal role as humankind reaches out to explore the solar system. To conduct the types of...

Integrated In-Space Transportation Plan
ISBN: 9781505568783 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Reaching the outer solar system is a struggle against time and distance. The most distant planets are 4.5 to 6 billion kilometers from the Sun and to reach them in any reasonable time requires much higher values of specific impulse than can be achieved with conventional chemical rockets. In addition, the few spacecraft that have reached beyond Jupiter have used gravity assist, mainly by Jupiter, that is only available for a few months' period every 13 or so years. This permits only very infrequent missions and mission planners are very reluctant to accept travel times greater than about ten...

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...

Astronautics and Aeronautics, 1970: Chronology on Science, Technology, and Policy
ISBN: 9781495469404 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 522 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This volume provides an immediate reference to aerospace-related events of 1970, enabling all of us to broaden or to refresh our crowded memories. As part of NASA% chronology series it is intended to help historians and other analysts in preserving historical accuracy and precisian. Perhaps the Apollo 13 problems that resulted in using the lunar lander Aquarius as a "lifeboat" will be the most readily recalled of the 1970 events. Yet, as this volume clearly indicates, there were many significant milestones in space and aeronautics. The lunar samples returned by Apollo 11 and 12 were...

Mercury Orbiter: Report of the Science Working Team
ISBN: 9781502903181 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 138 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The Mariner-10 flybys of Mercury in 1974 and 1975 resulted in the discovery of a planetary magnetic field and an active magnetosphere similar to that of Earth. Based upon the small size of the planet, Mercury's interior was expected to have cooled and solidified long ago. The presence of an intrinsic magnetic field, however, implied an internal dynamo in a fluid core, posing fundamental, unresolved issues concerning the origin, composition, and thermal history of Mercury. The Mariner-10 spacecraft also detected intense particle bursts and magnetic field disturbances, indicating that...

Aerocapture Systems Analysis for a Titan Mission
ISBN: 9781503339019 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Performance projections for aerocapture show a vehicle mass savings of between 40 and 80%, dependent on destination, for an aerocapture vehicle compared to an all-propulsive chemical vehicle. In addition aerocapture is applicable to multiple planetary exploration destinations of interest to the NASA Office of Space Science. These results led to the identification of aerocapture as one of the top three propulsion technologies for solar system exploration missions during the 2001 NASA In- Space Propulsion Program (ISP) technology prioritization effort, led by Marshall Space Flight Center, to...
