Wraps. Zustand: Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. 26 cm. 97 [1] pages. Wraps. Illustrations (some in color). Boxes. Ex-library with usual library markings. Presented is a synopsis of the past, present, and future of NASA's planetary astronomy program. The goals of solar system exploration and the objectives of planetary astronomy are discussed in the first section. The second section examines the planetary astronomy program for 1988 in terms of finances, areas of strength, and areas of concern. Section three takes an in-depth look at ground-based and airborne planetary astronomy, while section four examines earth-orbital planetary astronomy. In each section, accomplishments and future missions are evaluated as to success and importance. Finally, the fifth section provides overall conclusions and recommendations. The goal of planetary exploration is to understand the nature and development of the planets, as illustrated by pictures from the first two decades of spacecraft missions and by the imaginations of space artists. Planets, comets, asteroids, and moons are studied to discover the reasons for their similarities and differences. NASA is at the leading edge of a journey of scientific discovery that promises to reveal new knowledge of our solar system's content, origin, evolution and the potential for life elsewhere. NASA Planetary Science is engaged in one of the oldest of scientific pursuits: the observation and discovery of our solar system's planetary objects. With an exploration strategy based on progressing from flybys, to orbiting, to landing, to roving and finally to returning samples from planetary bodies, NASA advances the scientific understanding of the solar system in extraordinary ways, while pushing the limits of spacecraft and robotic engineering design and operations. Since the 1960s, NASA has broadened its reach with increasingly sophisticated missions launched to a host of nearby planets, moons, comets and asteroids. NASA Planetary Science continues to expand our knowledge of the solar system, with spacecraft in place from the innermost planet of our solar system to the very edge of our sun's influence.…

Trade paperback. Zustand: Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. xi, [1], 199, [1] pages. Tables. Figures. References. Bibliography of Space Studies Board Planetary Sciences Reports. Cover has wear and soiling. An Integrated Strategy for the Planetary Sciences: 1995-2010, explains that a responsive planetary exploration program demands a mix of mission sizes ranging from comprehensive missions with multiple objectives (such as Galileo and Cassini) to small missions with highly constrained scientific objectives. 2 At the same time The Role of Small Missions in Planetary and Lunar Exploration concluded that a series of small missions present "the planetary science community with the opportunity to expand the scope of its activities and to develop the potential and inventiveness of its members in ways not possible within the confines of large, traditional programs." In 1992, the National Research Council's Space Studies Board charged its Committee on Planetary and Lunar Exploration to: (1) summarize current understanding of the planets and the solar system; (2) pose significant scientific questions; and (3) establish priorities for scientific exploration of the planets for the period from 1995 to 2010. The scientific goals of solar system exploration include: (1) understanding how physical and chemical processes determine the major characteristics of the planets; (2) learning how planetary systems evolve; (3) determining how life developed, particularly on Earth, and in what ways life modifies planetary environments; and (4) discovering how simple, basic laws of physics and chemistry can lead to the diverse phenomena observed in complex systems. COMPLEX maintains that the most useful programs to emphasize in the period from 1995 to 2010 are investigations of comets, Mars, and Jupiter and an intensive search for, and characterization of, extrasolar planets.…

Softcover. Zustand: Good. No Jacket. 221 pages (complete). A decent copy of one of the most important and influential- certainly in terms of optimism and eagerness - Government reports on the future of Space Exploration. "By the end of the next 10 years, we will have developed more sophisticated manned vehicles which are capable of maneuvering in space, making rendezvous with other satellites . The space pilot, on return, will be able to land at an airstrip on the Earth more or less of his own choosing . a manned exploration [to the moon] could take place in just about 10 years (perhaps in as little as 7, if a very high priority were placed .). [to] Mars and Venus, manned exploration will not take place until a few years after 1968 ." Stapled spine. The covers have handling marks and wear. They are secure.

Stapled at upper left corner. Zustand: Very good. 17 pages, printed on one side only. Illustrations (color). Early promotional/educational material. There is a reference to a successful December 2010 inaugural mission, leading to the assumption that this document was produced in 2011. Falcon 9 is a reusable, two-stage rocket designed and manufactured by SpaceX for the reliable and safe transport of people and payloads into Earth orbit and beyond. Falcon 9 is the world's first orbital class reusable rocket. Reusability allows SpaceX to refly the most expensive parts of the rocket, which in turn drives down the cost of space access. The Dragon spacecraft is capable of carrying up to 7 passengers to and from Earth orbit, and beyond. It is the only spacecraft currently flying that is capable of returning significant amounts of cargo to Earth, and is the first private spacecraft to take humans to the space station. Space Exploration Technologies Corp., commonly referred to as SpaceX, is an American spacecraft manufacturer, launch service provider, defense contractor and satellite communications company headquartered in Hawthorne, California. The company was founded in 2002 by Elon Musk with the goal of reducing space transportation costs and to colonize Mars. The company currently operates the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets along with the Dragon spacecraft. The company offers internet service via its Starlink satellites, which became the largest-ever satellite constellation in January 2020 and as of June 2023 comprised more than 4,300 small satellites in orbit. SpaceX is the first private company to develop a liquid-propellant rocket that has reached orbit; to launch, orbit, and recover a spacecraft; to send a spacecraft to the International Space Station; and to send astronauts to the International Space Station. It is also the first organization of any type to achieve a vertical propulsive landing of an orbital rocket booster and the first to reuse such a booster. The company's Falcon 9 rockets have landed and reflown more than 200 times. In 2005, SpaceX announced that it had been awarded an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, allowing the United States Air Force to purchase up to $100 million worth of launches from the company. Three years later, NASA announced that it had awarded an IDIQ Launch Services contract to SpaceX for up to $1 billion, depending on the number of missions awarded. In December 2012, SpaceX announced its first two launch contracts with the United States Department of Defense (DoD). The United States Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center awarded SpaceX two EELV-class missions: Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) and Space Test Program 2 (STP-2). DSCOVR was launched on a Falcon 9 launch vehicle in 2015, while STP-2 was launched on a Falcon Heavy on 25 June 2019. The Falcon 9 v1.1 was certified for National Security Space Launch (NSSL) in 2015, allowing SpaceX to contract launch services to the Air Force for any payloads classified under national security. This broke the monopoly held since 2006 by United Launch Alliance (ULA) over U.S. Air Force launches of classified payloads. Color xerox-style copy.

STAMATIOS M. KRIMIGIS (Stamatios Krimigis, 1938) Professor Dr., Greek-American scientist in space exploration. He has contributed to many of the United States' unmanned space exploration programs of the Solar System and beyond. He has contributed to exploration missions to almost every planet of the Solar System.[1][2] In 1999, the International Astronomical Union named the asteroid 8323 Krimigis (previously 1979 UH) in his honor.

4to, US Letter (205 x 270 mm). Two mimeographed fascicles, 27 ff. + 27 ff., stapled, numbered 295/2-313/1 and 330/2-347/1. Together 54 pages (leaves printed on one side only), preserved in two custom-made petrol-coloured cloth folding boxes. A rare copy of the original transcripts from the Apollo 11 Mission tapes: two mimeographed NASA mission-commentary fascicles preserving, in near real time, the touchdown of the lunar module Eagle and Neil Armstrong's first steps on the moon. - The first transcript records the descent and landing with the full pressure of Mission Control's technical and emotional tempo intact, culminating in Armstrong's announcement, "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed" (GET 102:43), and CAPCOM's famously relieved reply that the room could breathe again. - The second transcript opens with the preparations for extravehicular activity and follows Armstrong down the ladder to the lunar surface ("That's one small step for man. One giant leap for mankind", GET 109:20), transmitting the first moonwalk as it unfolded for the press and for history. It likewise preserves the astronauts' first observations of the terrain, including Aldrin's description of a landscape of extraordinary variety in shape, texture, and rock formation. - Produced by NASA's Public Affairs Office for distribution at Mission Control, such fascicles were working documents rather than commemorative printings, and their survival is correspondingly elusive. They belong to the documentary front line of the Apollo programme, capturing the moment at which live speech became permanent historical record. Few texts of the 20th century so directly register the convergence of engineering precision, political theatre, and collective wonder. Issued on the day of the landing itself, these transcripts stand among the defining survivals of the first manned lunar landing and the first moonwalk. - Each sheaf perfectly preserved in a separate custom-made portfolio. - From a European private collection, acquired from the Texas rare book dealer John Holmes Jenkins (1940-89) in the 1970s.…
