This is a book about the business of space. It is indeed the first such book which explores the creation of the whole new field of commercial space exploration, previously considered to be an oxymoron. Starting with the transformation of the original governmental and military space programs into the successful satellite communications businesses, it then builds the case for moving forward to full commercial space exploration, with space tourism and therefore commercial space transportation being the key to this paradigm shift.

The author has been involved in all these phases of...

This is a FULL-COLOR (other variations are in grayscale) reproduction of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Systems Engineering Handbook (NASA/SP-2007-6105 Rev1).

This handbook consists of six core chapters: (1) systems engineering fundamentals discussion, (2) the NASA program/project life cycles, (3) systems engineering processes to get from a concept to a design, (4) systems engineering processes to get from a design to a final product, (5) crosscutting management processes in systems engineering, and (6) special topics relative to systems engineering. These...

The night sky is full of amazing things to see--from shooting stars and constellations to planets and satellites--but it can be hard to tell what you're seeing, or where to look for the best view. 100 Things to See in the Night Sky gives you a clear picture of what you can see on any given night, either using a small telescope, or...

This book identifies the individuals, institutions, and national ideologies that enabled Arab astronomers and researchers to gain support for space exploration when governments lacked interest. Jorg Matthias Determann shows that the...

This book will take you to lost worlds that still exist on Mars but may be hidden from sight. In many cases, they even have been purposefully kept from view by censors. Lost worlds are the remains of past civilizations on the red planet - both native and alien - that span many centuries, even spochs. They also cover many levels of social and tecnolological advancement, ranging from cave like societies to highly sophisticated scientific communities. Cities centers, miles long pipelines, sites of ceremonial stone circles, monuments of national importance, partially intact highway systems and...
