Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 3rd Edition. 8vo (227 x 150 mm). x, 11-284 pp., 4 plates with b/w photographic reproductions.

ISBN 0-8407-9106-2. Charles Duke (born 1935) was accepted into NASA's astronaut group in 1966. He was Capcom on the first moon landing and later a replacement pilot on the Apollo 13 lunar module. Due to Duke's illness with rubella, the actual pilot of the command module, Ken Mattingly, was unable to take part in the mission as he had no antibodies in his blood and an outbreak of the disease was considered likely, but this did not happen. He then became the pilot of the Apollo 16 lunar module under the command of John Watts Young, while Ken Mattingly was the pilot of the command module. For this fifth manned moon landing, he spent a total of around 20 hours on the open lunar surface during three excursions in April 1972. At the age of 36, Duke is the youngest person to have ever been on the moon. Young and Duke set a speed record with the lunar rover. They drove down the North Ray crater at 17 km/h, although the rover was officially only designed for a speed of 8 km/h. The record was broken by the Apollo 17 crew, who still hold it today. During their journeys, Young and Duke collected a total of almost 100 kg of moon rocks. Towards the end of their stay on the Moon, Duke attempted to jump up in reduced gravity, as Young had done several times before. However, Duke lost his balance and fell backwards onto the life support systems in his backpack. According to Duke, this was the only moment of the flight when he felt panic, as a failure in the life support systems or spacesuit would have meant his immediate death. Duke also was the backup lunar module pilot for Apollo 17. Duke, who is married and has two sons, retired from NASA in December 1975. On May 18, 2019, an asteroid was named after him: (26382) Charlieduke (Wikisource). - Visit our website to see more images! Inscribed by Author(s).

Auflage. 284 Seiten Kanten etwas bestossen, auf dem Vortitelblatt von Charlie Duke und Dotty vorderseitig mit blauem bzw. schwarzem Stift signiert /// Charles Moss ?Charlie? Duke, Jr. (* 3. Oktober 1935 in Charlotte, North Carolina) ist ein ehemaliger amerikanischer Astronaut. Er war der zehnte Mensch, der den Mond betrat. Charles Duke wuchs in South Carolina auf und studierte nach der High School zunächst Marinetechnik. Die US-Marineakademie verlieh ihm 1957 einen Bachelor. Anschließend diente er als Kampfpilot drei Jahre auf der Ramstein Air Base in Deutschland. 1964 schloss er ein Studium am Massachusetts Institute of Technology mit einem Master als Luft- und Raumfahrtingenieur ab. 1965 wurde er Ausbilder an der Testpilotenschule der US Air Force. 1966 wurde Duke in die Astronautengruppe der NASA aufgenommen. Er war Capcom bei der ersten Mondlandung (Apollo 11) und später Ersatzpilot der Landefähre von Apollo 13. Wegen Dukes Erkrankung an Röteln konnte der eigentliche Pilot der Kommandokapsel, Ken Mattingly, nicht an der Mission teilnehmen, da er keine Antikörper in seinem Blut hatte und ein Ausbruch der Krankheit als wahrscheinlich galt, was jedoch nicht passierte. Darauf war er Pilot der Landefähre von Apollo 16 unter dem Kommando von John Watts Young, Pilot der Kommandokapsel war Ken Mattingly. Zu dieser fünften bemannten Mondlandung hielt er sich im April 1972 während drei Exkursionen insgesamt rund 20 Stunden auf der freien Mondoberfläche auf. Mit 36 Jahren ist Duke der bisher jüngste Mensch, der auf dem Mond war. Young und Duke stellten einen Geschwindigkeitsrekord mit dem Mondrover auf. Sie fuhren mit 17 km/h den North Ray Krater herunter, obwohl der Rover offiziell nur für eine Geschwindigkeit von 8 km/h ausgelegt war. Der Rekord wurde von der Apollo 17 Crew gebrochen, die ihn bis heute hält. Bei ihren Fahrten haben Young und Duke insgesamt knapp 100 kg Mondgestein gesammelt.[1] Gegen Ende des Aufenthalts auf dem Mond versuchte Duke, in der verminderten Schwerkraft in die Höhe zu springen, so wie Young es zuvor mehrfach getan hatte. Duke verlor jedoch das Gleichgewicht und fiel nach hinten auf die Lebenserhaltungssysteme im Rucksack. Laut Duke war dies der einzige Moment des Fluges, in dem er Panik verspürte, denn ein Defekt an Lebenserhaltungssystemen oder Raumanzug hätte seinen sofortigen Tod bedeutet.[2] Duke war Ersatzpilot der Mondfähre für Apollo 17.[3] Duke, der verheiratet ist und zwei Söhne hat, schied im Dezember 1975 aus der NASA aus. Er ist Ehrenmitglied im Kuratorium des Arbeitskreises Christlicher Publizisten.[4] Am 18. Mai 2019 wurde ein Asteroid nach ihm benannt: (26382) Charlieduke /// Standort Wimregal HOM-31841 ISBN 0840791062 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 596.
