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...

Airplane Upset Training Evaluation Report
ISBN: 9781505569087 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 578 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the last decades, loss of control in flight was the largest category of commercial jet fatal accidents worldwide. Precipitating factors in these accidents have included equipment failures and system anomalies, weather phenomena, inappropriate use of flight controls or systems, inappropriate control responses by crew, or some combination of these factors. In many of these accidents flight crews could have recovered from the initial upset attitude by promptly applying appropriate control inputs. However, recovery from upset attitudes is challenging, even for highly experienced airline...

Development of Autonomous Aerobraking (Phase 1)
ISBN: 9781503235007 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. NASA uses aerobraking (AB) to reduce the fuel required to deliver a spacecraft into its desired final orbit around a target planet or moon with a significant atmosphere. Instead of using the propulsion system to decelerate the spacecraft, AB utilizes aerodynamic drag. While flying through the upper atmosphere of the planet or moon multiple times, the spacecraft maintains a periapsis control corridor such that dynamic pressure and thermal loads on the spacecraft remain within designed parameters. AB has been used four times by NASA: once at Venus and three times at Mars. Although AB reduces...
