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...
