Softcover. THE APOLLO PROGRAMME is mostly remembered for the first manned flight around the moon during Christmas 1968, the six manned landings between 1969 and 1972 and the dramatic rescue of the Apollo 13 crew in 1970. Apollo hardware was also used in the Skylab Space Station Programme during 1973 and for a joint docking missi…on with the Soviet Union in 1975. - But the programme was intended to be much more far-reaching than just these few missions. From the early 1960s, plans to utilise Apollo hardware for other missions expanded into the Apollo Applications Programme. In this, extended scientific research flights in Earth orbit would complement an extensive exploration of the Moon and evolve into the first manned planetary expeditions to the planet Mars. - In Apollo: The Lostand Forgotten Missions David Shayler chronicles these developments in adapting the lunar hardware to meet other objectives. In addition the unflown mission of Apollo 1, the lost moonwalks of Apollo 13 and the cancelled moon shots of Apollos 18, 19 and 20 are recalled. Apollo was not only a programme of eleven manned missions, a pioneering space Station and the beginnings of international cooperation, but also a programme of lost dreams and abandoned opportunities. 344 p. photos and illustrations very good condition, with a name sticker of the previous owner.

Softcover. From the late 1950s, when the former USSR launched its Lunik probes, to the mid 1970s and the United States' successful manned flights to the Moon, lunar exploration was high on the superpowers' space agendas. - In Lunar Exploration: Human Pioneers and Robotic Surveyors, Paolo Ulivi gives a lucid and accessible accoun…t of man's attempts to reach the Moon. As well äs covering the well-documented manned and unmanned missions, he draws on recently declassified information to describe Chinese lunar exploration projects and how lunar nuclear weapons were developed by the superpowers in the 1950s. Since the mid 1970s, there have been few missions to the Moon but interest is once again on the increase. The United States has developed its Clementine and Lunar Prospector spacecraft, both Japan and the European Space Agency are involved in lunar missions, and there is interest from China and India, and hope that Russia will again become involved. - Perhaps a new age of lunar exploration is about to begin. 363 p. many photos and illustrations very good condition, with a name label of the previous owner.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. xxi, [3], 437, [3] pages. Illustrations. Formulae. Tabular Data. Notes. References. Appendices [including Chronology]. Glossary. Index. The cover has corner and other wear and soiling. Inscribed by the author on the title page. The inscription reads Bill - Welcome… to space Biz! All best wishes. Dave Doody. Name and phone number in ink on fep. Dave Doody has been interested in interplanetary space flight since at least age 6 when his father built a 16-foot tall rocket ship in the backyard for him and his neighborhood friends to "fly" among the planets. Dave came to Pasadena from Catalina Island and started working with JPL's Deep Space Network in 1982. Then he came to work at JPL with the Voyager mission in 1985. After serving post-Voyager as a member of the Magellan flight team on its Venus-mapping mission, Dave joined Cassini, and was Operations Lead for the Cassini Mission Support and Services Office. Deep Space Craft opens the door to interplanetary flight. It looks at this world from the vantage point of real operations on a specific mission, and follows a natural trail from the day-to-day working of this particular spacecraft, through the functioning of all spacecraft to the collaboration of the various disciplines to produce the results for which a spacecraft is designed. These results are of course mostly of a scientific nature, although a small number of interplanetary missions are also flown primarily to test and prove new engineering techniques. The author shows how the need for experiments and instrumentation arises, and follows the design and construction of the instruments through to their placement and testing on a spacecraft prior to launch. Examples are given of the interaction between an instrument's science team and the mission's flight team to plan and specify observations, gather and analyze data in flight, and finally present the results and discoveries to the scientific community. This focused guide to interplanetary space exploration uses many examples of previous and current endeavors. It will enable the reader to research almost any topic related to spacecraft and to seek the latest scientific findings, the newest emerging technologies, or the current status of a favorite flight. In order to provide easy paths from the general to the specific, the text constantly refers to the Appendices. Within the main text, the intent is general familiarization and categorization of spacecraft and instruments at a high level, to provide a mental framework to place in context and understand any spacecraft and any instrument encountered in the reader's experience. Appendix A gives illustrated descriptions of many interplanetary spacecraft, some earth-orbiters and ground facilities to reinforce the classification framework. Appendix B contains illustrated detailed descriptions of a dozen scientific instruments, including some ground-breaking engineering appliances that have either already been in operation or are poised for flight. Each instrument's range of sensitivity in wavelengths of light, etc, and its physical principle(s) of operation is described. Appendix C has a few annotated illustrations to clarify the nomenclature of regions and structures in the solar system and the planets' ring systems, and places the solar system in context with the local interstellar environment.

Softcover. First Edition - Springer-Praxis Books in Astronomy and Space Sciences - - Between May 1973 and February 1974 three teams of astronauts increased the American space endurance record from 14 days, set in 1965, to three months aboard the Skylab space station in missions lasting 28, 59 and 84 days. American astronauts did… not surpass these records for over 20 years until the NASA Mir missions began in 1995. - Skylab evolved from plans to use Apollo lunar hardware for extended scientific missions in Earth orbit, becoming a platform for research in solar science, stellar astronomy, space physics, earth resources, life and material sciences. Skylab was where Americans first learned the skill of truly living and working in space, even offering students the chance to fly their own experiments on a manned spacecraft. - In Skylab - America's Space Station, David Shayler chronicles the evolution of the Station, its infrastructure on the ground including astronaut training, each of the three manned missions, summary of results, achievements and the lessons learned. The creation of the International Space Station is the real legacy of Skylab äs American astronauts once again embark on extended missions around the Earth. 375 p. many photos and illustrations very good condition, with a name label of the previous owner.

Softcover. Zustand: very good condition. First Edition - Springer-Praxis Books in Space Exploration - - In this ground-breaking work, the doors to the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre (TsPK] in Russia are opened, and its facilities and its role in space flight history explained in detail for the first time to western reade…rs. Known as Star City, the centre is unique in the history of human space exploration but, until now, has remained essentially a closed location. - With full assistance from those who organise and run the facility, and using unique photographs, first-hand Interviews and historical resources, the authors explore how Russian citizens have been selected and trained to fly in space, and how this procedure has changed over the last forty years. They also discuss the evolution of the often overlooked ground support infrastructure. Finaliy, they examine how the cosmonaut's role has changed from the pioneering days of the Gagarin era, through the demise of the Soviet Union, the cooperation in the multinational commercial and ISS programmes, and into the future and a new era of space exploration. 386 p. many photos and a fold-out plan of the Yuri Gagarin Training Center.

Softcover. Zustand: very good condition. First Edition - Springer-Praxis Books in Space Exploration - - ON 16 JUNE 1963 Soviet cosmonaut Valentine Tereshkova became the tenth person and first woman to orbit the Earth. It would be a further two decades before the second woman, also Russian, and then the first American female astr…onaut entered space. During the 1980s and 1990s over 50 females from around the world were selected for spaceflight training, with 40 achieving at least one flight. The road to space for women has been long and difficult but their commitment and contribution has been as dedicated as that of their male colleagues. - The story of women in space charts the pioneering aeronautical developments of the early decades of the 20th Century to the very start of human space exploration, and on to the Shuttle and space Station era. However, the story of women in space is not just about those who fly the missions, but also of those who work on the ground, or stay at horne with the family. - In Women In Space - Following Valentina David Shayler and lan Moule chronicle these missions into space, from the historic Vostok 6 in June 1963 to the tragedy of STS-107 40 years on. From the first pioneering steps, through the frustration and disappointments of the 1960s and 1970s, the triumphs and tragedies of the 1980s, to the current International Space Station Programme, women have played a crucial role in the space Programme, and this book celebrates their achievements. 410 p. many photos.

Softcover. First Edition - Springer-Praxis Books in Astronomy and Space Sciences - - The US Space Shuttle, which entered service in 1981, was conceived as a reusable spacecraft providing cheap access to Iow Earth orbit, and to supersede expendable launch vehicles. In spite of the Challenger and Columbia disasters, it is arguably… the most successful spacecraft ever developed. - The Story of the Space Shuttle explains the scientific contribution that it has made to the international space programme, focusing on the Shuttle's utility rather than its development. Each chapter is devoted to a specific type of operation, and the missions are discussed in this context. Missions to Mir, Hubble and, more recently, the Shuttle's role in the assembly of the International Space Station are described, as are the the activities leading to the resumption of operations following the loss of Columbia. The book concludes with a look at possible future concepts for a partly or totally reusable space vehicle to replace the Shuttle. - With The Story of the Space Shuttle, David Harland provides the definitive work about this amazing project. 444 p. many photos very good condition, with a name label of the previous owner.

Hardcover. First Edition - Springer-Praxis Books in Astronomy and Space Sciences - - The International Space Station Programme has made its mark in the annals of space exploration through a remarkable series of space 'firsts': - the first time a partnership of nations has owned and operated a space Station - the first time weste…rn agencies have been given access to previously-secret Russian facilities - the first time training and control centres in many countries have been linked - the first time traffic involving multiple spacecraft built by many countries has been coordinated - the first time large-scale commercial ventures have been attempted - the first time a robot has handed over to another robot in human space flight - And the list is growing. - As NASA Space Station Programme Manager Tommy Holloway said: "When the world looks back on the International Space Station, they will see one huge team accomplishing an incredible mission. And through integrity, trust and respecting people, no obstacle, whether technical or cultural, is preventing this world space flight team from achieving our goals." - This is the story of a truly monumental project, from the dream to the reality. 392 p. many photos very good condition, with a name label of the previous owner.

Softcover. Today we think of manned space flight as almost routine - Despite this, the fact is that the human exploration of space has always pushed the boundaries of science and technology and once in a while things can go terribly wrong. NASA's rare major disasters and near-misses - like the explosion of the Challenger space s…huttle with the loss of its crew (the illustrations on the cover of this book), and the nerve-wracking flight of the crippled Apollo 13 - hit the headlines but many other accidents, particularly in the Russian space Programme, have gone mostly unreported. - David Shayler presents, for the first time, a detailed but immensely readable review of accidents in human space flight from the beginnings of stratospheric travel to the present day. - This wide-ranging survey also features nine detailed case histories, reviews the theory of risks and accidents, and looks forward to the next developments in space travel, with the construction of the International Space Station. - Manned spaceflight will never be risk-free, but the lessons learnt from the past mistakes so graphically described here can certainly make it safer. 470 p. photos and illustrations very good condition, with a namesticker of the previous owner.

Softcover. First Edition - Springer-Praxis Books in Astronomy and Space Sciences - - For most people the Mir space Station is synonymous with calamity - a fire, collision with an unmanned Progress M-34 supply vehicle, and countless less life-threatening technical failures. - Unfortunately that tends to eclipse the fact that the…American and Russian space agencies successfully co-operated on this project for six years. NASA astronauts and Russian cosmonauts worked together to overcome mechanical and engineering breakdowns, cultural differences, political crises and mistrust to contribute significantly to scientific advancement. - Here is the untold story of the Shuttle-Mir Programme. - Challenges of Human Space Expioration describes, in detail and in the words of the astronauts who lived aboard Mir, the major scientific achievements of the Programme. Not the least, these include lessons learned about reducing risks and stress, and the implications for the forthcoming International Space Station. - If you want to look beyond the headlines of the Shuttle-Mir missions, this is the book for you. 259 p. many photos very good condition, with a name label of the previous owner.

Softcover. Zustand: excellent condition, new book. The book focuses on the design, testing and manufacture of the F-1 engine, but also covers its incorporation into the first stage of the Saturn V and in-flight record. It concludes with an examination of what might have been, if the F-1 had not been discarded, together with the…Saturn V, at the conclusion of the Apollo program. The account draws on original documents and interviews with engineers and managers, and is illustrated by many never-before-published photographs, both colour and monochrome. The intention is for this to be the definitive account of the development of this most powerful of rocket engines. As NASA is developing an evolved version of the hydrogen-burning J-2 engine for use in the forthcoming Ares launch vehicles, the author includes development of the J-2 engine within the context of the Saturn V development, thus bringing rocket engine development up to the present and thus provide this book with a long shelf life. 266 p. many photos and illustrations.
