Eliminating the Giggle Factor
ISBN: 9781499786866 / Angielski / Miękka / 24 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Giggle Factor (GF). Mention "Planetary Defense" and you'll soon understand. Even without invoking the sinister vision of alien beings arriving to enslave or destroy humanity, the eyebrows of serious and senior members of the national defense and scientific communities go askew when the subject is broached, whether at cocktail parties or congressional budget hearings. Even the most ardent supporters of defending the Earth from cataclysmic cometary or asteroidal impacts share occasional public or private chuckles with colleagues and skeptics-behavior considered unthinkable when discussing...

Catastrophic Health Insurance for Planet Earth
ISBN: 9781499786996 / Angielski / Miękka / 78 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Concern exists among an increasing number of scientists throughout the world regarding the possibility of a catastrophic event caused by an impact of a large earth-crossing object (ECO) on the Earth-Moon System (EMS), be it an asteroid or comet. Such events, although rare for large objects (greater than 1 kilometer diameter), are not unprecedented. Indeed, the great upheaval and resulting ice age that marked the extinction of the dinosaurs is thought to have been caused by the impact of a 10 km diameter asteroid. In 1908 a stony asteroid of approximately 50 meters diameter exploded in the air...

Gemini Manual: An insight into NASA's Gemini spacecraft, the precursor to Apollo and the key to the Moon
ISBN: 9780857334213 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Gemini space flight program is all but forgotten, having been eclipsed by the spectacular drama and success of the Apollo flights to the Moon. Neither was it a pioneer, coming after the heroic and pathfinding Mercury project. But whereas Mercury was derided as 'spam-in-a-can' and Apollo was a truck towing a lunar lander, the Gemini spacecraft was an agile flying machine for fighter pilots. Initially called the Mercury Mark II, it gave the United States the tool it needed to learn how to fly in space, and in so doing it prepared the country's space agency, NASA, to set off for the...

Seeing Like a Rover: How Robots, Teams, and Images Craft Knowledge of Mars
ISBN: 9780226155968 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the years since the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit and Opportunity first began transmitting images from the surface of Mars, we have become familiar with the harsh, rocky, rusty-red Martian landscape. But those images are much less straightforward than they may seem to a layperson: each one is the result of a complicated set of decisions and processes involving the large team behind the Rovers.
With Seeing Like a Rover, Janet Vertesi takes us behind the scenes to reveal the work that goes into creating our knowledge of Mars. Every photograph that the Rovers take,...

NASA secrets revealed...Sex in space...Return to the Stone Ages...Cut through the BS in this scathing and penetrating expose of what could be the most glorious fraud of all time, involving governments, universities, and private corporations, with the careers and futures of so many propped up on nothing but dreams and fantasies. Mars - is passe. Manned space flight was a phase that has run its course, and henceforward is a complete waste of time - or a frivolous diversion of the idle rich, which it is quickly becoming. Our continued fascination with Mars demonstrates how we hang onto...

The Atmosphere of Titan
ISBN: 9781502468123 / Angielski / Miękka / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 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...

Space Science in the Twenty-First Century: Imperatives for the Decades 1995 to 2015: Mission to Planet Earth
ISBN: 9781502793836 / Angielski / Miękka / 138 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Early in 1984, NASA asked the Space Science Board to undertake a study to determine the principal scientific issues that the disciplines of space science would face during the period from about 1995 to 2015. This request was made partly because NASA expected the Space Station to become available at the beginning of this period, and partly because the missions needed to implement research strategies previously developed by the various committees of the board should have been launched or their development under way by that time. A two-year study was called for. To carry out the study the board...

This report is one in a series written by the standing discipline committees of the Space Studies Board. The purpose of this new series is to assess the status of our nation's space science and applications research programs and to review the responses of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and other relevant federal agencies to the Board's past recommendations. It is important, periodically, to take stock of where research disciplines stand. As an advisory body to government, the Space Studies Board should regularly examine the advice it has provided in order to determine its...

Setting Priorities for Space Research: An Experiment in Methodology
ISBN: 9781502845955 / Angielski / Miękka / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Finding an effective and reasonably objective method for setting priorities across scientific disciplines is something of a holy grail of science policy, and one whose urgency continues to grow. The Space Studies Board Task Group on Priorities in Space Research presented a thorough analysis of the pros and cons of priority setting and recommended that an effort to develop such a method proceed. The next phase involved this task group, and eventually the full Board, in an ambitious attempt to construct a formal, semiquantitative methodology to set priorities among major space science projects...

Space Life Sciences Research: The Importance of Long-Term Space Experiments
ISBN: 9781502846099 / Angielski / Miękka / 46 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This report focuses on the scientific importance of long-term space experiments for the advancement of biological science and the benefit of humankind. It includes a collection of papers that explore the scientific potential provided by the capability to manipulate organisms by removing a force that has been instrumental in the evolution and development of all organisms. Further, it provides the scientific justification for why the long-term space exposure that can be provided by a space station is essential to conduct significant research. While past history has shown that new frontiers of...

Guidelines for Developing Spacecraft Maximum Allowable Concentrations for Space Station Contaminants
ISBN: 9781502846198 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is preparing to launch a manned space station---Space Station Freedom--by the mid-1990s. Because Space Station Freedom will be a closed complex environment, some contamination of its atmosphere is inevitable. Several hundred chemicals are likely to be found in the closed atmosphere of the space station, most in very low concentrations. Important sources of atmospheric contaminants include metabolic waste products of crew members and off-gassing of cabin materials and equipment. Release of chemicals from experiments performed on board...
