Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - In this, the first history of artifical satellites and their uses, Helen Gavaghan shows how the idea of putting an object in orbit around the earth changed from science fiction to indespensible technology in the twinkling of an eye. Thanks to satelli…tes, we can now send data and images anywhere in the world in an instant. The satellite-based navigational system can pinpoint your exact location anywhere in the world; it is so precise that, from outer space, it can detect the sag on an airplane's wing. Focusing on three major areas of development - navigational satellites, communications, and weather observation and forecasting - Gavaghan tells the remarkable inside story of how obscure men and women, often laboring under strict secrecy, made the extraordinary scientific and technological discoveries needed to make these miracles happen. Written by a science journalist with support from the Sloane Foundation, the book describes the birth of the modern scientific era in the twentieth century, with creation of satellite technology. The narrative is part history - beginning with the Russian-U.S. contest with the launch of Sputnik; part politics, as scientists and visionary engineers compete for scarce funding that will bring their dreams to reality; partly the story of the singular and fascinating individuals who were present at the creation of our modern technological era.

In den WarenkorbHardcover with dust jacket. First Edition. First Printing Though most of us seldom notice the presence of satellites, we certainly would notice if they were gone. In this history of the earliest days of the satellites that knit together our world, Heien Gavaghan shows how pioneers turned the dreams of science fiction into indisp…ensable technology. Satellites link the stock markets of Tokyo, New York, and London. They make communication with di-saster areas possible. "Birds," as they are known to the men and women whose life work they are, show nascent hurricanes and have transformed navigation from an ancient art dependent on the stars to an applied science that was crucial to America's success in the Cold War Focusing on the three major areas development - navigational Satellites, Communications, and weather observation and forecasting - Gavaghan tells the remarkable inside story of how obscure men and women, often laboring under strict secrecy, made the extraordinary scientific and technological discoveries, needed to make these miracles happen. This book is part history, beginning with the Russian - US rivalry over the launch of Sputnik; part politics, as scientists and visionary engineers compete for scarce funding that will bring their dreams to reality; and partly the story of the singular and fascinating individuals who were present at the creation of our modern technological era. Combining an impressive range of documentation with a compelling, readable narration, this book tells the hitherto untold story of one of the most important technologies of our time. 300 p. photos very good condition, with an name sticker of the previous owner.
