NASA Systems Engineering Handbook
ISBN: 9781502975874 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Since the writing of NASA/SP-6105 in 1995, systems engineering at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), within national and international standard bodies, and as a discipline has undergone rapid evolution. Changes include implementing standards in the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9000, the use of Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute's Capability Maturity Model(r) Integration (CMMI(r)) to improve development and delivery of products, and the impacts of mission failures. Lessons learned on systems engineering were documented in reports such...

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...

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...

The Atmosphere of Titan
ISBN: 9781502468123 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Titan offers a unique opportunity in solar system exploration. It is the smallest known body with an atmosphere. In terms of spacecraft entry dynamics, it has the most accessible atmosphere in the solar system. It has dark reddish clouds which are probably composed of organic compounds, falling continually to the surface. It has the highest ratio of methane to hydrogen of all known reducing atmospheres, making an environment in some respects like that of the primitive Earth at the time of the origin of life. It probably has the only surface of all the bodies beyond Mars with atmospheres that...

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...

Exploring the Living Universe: A Strategy for Space Life Sciences
ISBN: 9781502846297 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. 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...
