Exploring the Living Universe: A Strategy for Space Life Sciences
ISBN: 9781502846297 / Angielski / Miękka / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 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...

Fusion Energy for Space Missions in the 21st Century
ISBN: 9781502903068 / Angielski / Miękka / 490 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The goal of this work is ultimately to assist in the achievement of space science and exploration missions and thus to assist in the implementation of the National Space Policy. This analysis commenced with a self initiated inquiry concerning the importance of and the need for more advanced forms of space mission energy conversion, thereby permitting the accomplishment of more ambitious space science objectives. As one set of questions led to another during the initial phase of the inquiry, a drive developed to conduct an independent investigative analysis on where the space program is headed...

The Interplanetary Pioneers: Volume III: Operations
ISBN: 9781502933676 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Some exploratory enterprises start with fanfare and end with a quiet burial; some start with hardly a notice, yet end up significantly advancing mankind's knowledge. The Interplanetary Pioneers more closely fit the latter description. When the National Aeronautics and Space Administration started the program a decade ago it received little public attention. Yet the four spacecraft, designated Pioneers 6, 7, 8, and 9, have faithfully lived up to their name as defined by Webster, "to discover or explore in advance of others." These pioneering spacecraft were the first to systematically orbit...

GaAs Solar Cell Radiation Handbook
ISBN: 9781502976161 / Angielski / Miękka / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) has been of interest as a photovoltaic material for many years. This interest arises primarily for three reasons. First, the bandgap of 1.42eV at 300 K is very nearly ideal for a photovoltaic device operating in our solar spectrum. Second, GaAs solar cells should be capable of operating at higher temperatures than silicon (Si) cells. Third, GaAs solar cells are expected to be very radiation resistant. This handbook provides a history of GaAs solar cell development; Photovoltaic equations are described along with instrumentation techniques for measuring solar cells;...

Layman's Universe
ISBN: 9781503265929 / Angielski / Miękka / 78 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is presented as a "Large Print" version of Annex (2) contained in "Life around Black Holes." The title sort of gives the game away but it was written, in the main, some time ago prior to such revelations as the probability of "Black Holes" in all galaxies and the "Dark" side extravaganza (he would term it) and this tends towards its credibility as an option to challenge certainly some of the bizarre proposals which abound our media sources. It gives one man's viewpoint on many aspects of that which encommpasses us all, using logic and some speculation together with a dose of the...

Integrated In-Space Transportation Plan
ISBN: 9781505568783 / Angielski / Miękka / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Reaching the outer solar system is a struggle against time and distance. The most distant planets are 4.5 to 6 billion kilometers from the Sun and to reach them in any reasonable time requires much higher values of specific impulse than can be achieved with conventional chemical rockets. In addition, the few spacecraft that have reached beyond Jupiter have used gravity assist, mainly by Jupiter, that is only available for a few months' period every 13 or so years. This permits only very infrequent missions and mission planners are very reluctant to accept travel times greater than about ten...
