Basics of Space Flight

41RkavoddyL. SL160 Trip to NASA Goddard Space Flight Centerspace flights

How do you get to another planet? Can gravity assist you? How do spacecraft communicate? Broad in scope and loaded with references, Basics of Space Flight identifies the many fields and concepts associated with robotic interplanetary space exploration, and shows how they operate together. Popular with teachers, students, and anyone who is curious about “how they do that”. In this edition its many illustrations are in color. A less expensive black & white edition is also available (see Amazon lis

NASA’s Space Shuttle Program: The Columbia Tragedy, the Discovery Mission, and the Future of the Shuttle

51LAHNNHIbL. SL160 Space Flights photosspace flights

On August 9, 2005, the space shuttle Discovery successfully completed the first of two “Return to Flight” (RTF) missions — STS-114. It was the first shuttle launch since the February 1, 2003, Columbia tragedy. NASA announced on July 27, 2005, the day after STS-114’s launch, that a second RTF mission would be indefinitely postponed because of a problem that occurred during Discovery’s launch that is similar to what led to the loss of Columbia. The next launch is currently expected some

4/19/2010 – Dr. Compton Tucker, senior Earth scientist at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in the Hydrospheric and Biospheric Sciences Laboratory, discusses "Climategate" in the context of observations of the ocean-land-atmosphere system. This observation shows unambiguous increasing surface temperatures and stress the contribution of space observations that should extinguish the climate change controversy.

The majority of books dealing with prospects for interstellar flight tackle the problem of the propulsion systems that will be needed to send a craft on an interstellar trajectory. The proposed book looks at two other, equally important aspects of such space missions, and each forms half of this two part book. Part 1 looks at the ways in which it is possible to exploit the focusing effect of the Sun as a gravitational lens for scientific missions to distances of 550 AU and beyond into int
