Abandoned in Place: Preserving America's Space History
ISBN: 9780826356253 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Stenciled on many of the deactivated facilities at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, the evocative phrase abandoned in place indicates the structures that have been deserted. Some structures, too solid for any known method of demolition, stand empty and unused in the wake of the early period of US space exploration. Now Roland Miller s color photographs document the NASA, Air Force, and Army facilities across the nation that once played a crucial role in the space race. Rapidly succumbing to the elements and demolition, most of the blockhouses, launch towers, tunnels, test stands,...

Critical Issues in the History of Spaceflight (NASA Publication SP-2006-4702)
ISBN: 9781780396958 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 674 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. At a May 1981 "Proseminar in Space History'' held at the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum (NASM) in Washington, DC, historians came together to consider the state of the discipline of space history. It was an historic occasion. The community of scholars interested in the history of spaceflight was not large; previously, well-meaning but untrained aficionados consumed with artifacts had dominated the field, to the exclusion of the larger context. At a fundamental level, this proseminar represented a "declaration of independence'' for what might be called the "new...

Spaceflight and the Myth of Presidential Leadership
ISBN: 9780252066320 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In Spaceflight and the Myth of Presidential Leadership, ten contributors present compelling arguments and analyses that shed new light on the power and leadership of the nation's presidency and on the space program. Setting the tone for the collection, Roger Launius and Howard McCurdy maintain that the nation's presidency had become imperial by the mid-1970s and that supporters of the space program had grown to find relief in such a presidency, which they believed could help them obtain greater political support and funding. Subsequent chapters explore the roles and political leadership,...

Critical Issues in the History of Spaceflight
ISBN: 9781493716630 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 676 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In March 2005, the NASA History Division and the Division of Space History at the National Air and Space Museum brought together a distinguished group of scholars to consider the state of the discipline of space history. This volume is a collection of essays based on those deliberations. The meeting took place at a time of extraordinary transformation for NASA, stemming from the new Vision of Space Exploration announced by President George W. Bush in January 204: to go to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. This Vision, in turn, stemmed from a deep reevaluation of NASA's goals in the wake of the...

ISBN: 9781495405839 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 830 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. One of the most important developments of the twentieth century has been the movement of humanity into space with machines and people. The underpinnings of that movement-why it took the shape it did; which individuals and organizations were involved; what factors drove a particular choice of scientific objectives and technologies to be used; and the political, economic, managerial, and international contexts in which the events of the Space Age unfolded-are all important ingredients of this epoch transition from an Earthbound to a spacefaring people. This desire to understand the development...

ISBN: 9781493700301 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 338 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This study represents a means of highlighting the myriad of technological developments that made possible the safe reentry and return from space and the landing on Earth. This story extends back at least to the work of Walter Hohmann and Eugen Sanger in Germany in the 1920s and involved numerous aerospace engineers at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA)/NASA Langley and the Lewis (now the John H. Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field) and Ames Research Centers. For example, researchers such as H. Julian Allen and Alfred J. Eggers, Jr., at Ames pioneered blunt-body reentry...
