| Title | Praxis Manned Spaceflight Log 1961-2006 |
| Author(s) | Furniss, Tim;David, Shayler;Shayler, Michael D |
| Publication | New York, NY, 1. Imprint: Praxis
2. Springer New York, 2007. |
| Description | XXXVI, 830 p. 400 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Praxis Log of Manned Spaceflight 1961-2006 will open with a section entitled: Quest for Space, which will provide an explanation of the methods employed to get in and out of orbit and brief overviews of the different international space programmes. It will be a complete chronological log of all attempted orbital manned spaceflights, including the X-15 "astroflights" of the 1960s that only achieved an altitude of c. 50 miles and the two 1961 Mercury and Redstone missions which were non-orbital. There will be an image depicting each manned spaceflight, and data boxes containing brief biographies of all the space travellers and basic flight data. The main text will be a narrative of each mission, its highlights and accomplishments, including those strange facts and humorous stories that are connected to every mission. By targeting publication in September 2006, the return to flight of the Shuttle, two more Soyuz TMA launches and, quite possibly, a second Chinese manned mission. The resulting book will be a handy reference to all manned spaceflights, the names astronauts and cosmonauts who flew on each mission, and their roles and accomplishments. Recent announcements of a return to the Moon and eventual manned flights to Mars, as new hardware and procedures are developed to support these long-range programs, emphasizes the case for future updates of this book |

| Title | U. S. Spacesuits |
| Author(s) | Thomas, Kenneth S;McMann, Harold J |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2012. |
| Description | XXXV, 472 p. 284 illus., 124 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Spacesuits are far more than garments. They are a personalized spacecraft that allows direct contact and interaction with everything beyond our world, and a last refuge for survival in a disaster. Creating safe, reliable, and comfortable spacesuits is an ongoing challenge that has spanned over four decades. "U. S. Spacesuits, 2nd Edition" by Kenneth S. Thomas and Harold J. McMann details the technical evolution of U. S. spacesuits from their roots in high altitude aviation and vacuum tube development to present day, with an additional look into the future. This primary source of spacesuit information explains the functions, historical development, and use of spacesuits from a worldwide perspective. In this new edition, the authors update the story of U.S. spacesuit development and efforts, from the design challenges modern engineers face to the latest roles of spacesuits in space exploration. The book also provides a close up look at NASA's new Constellation Space Suit System as well as Apollo prototype configurations that have been discovered since 2005. Also not in the earlier edition is a prototype and model of the Gemini pressure suit and an explanation of its development. Finally, there are new insights into the suits used for the Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, Space Shuttle, and International Space Station missions |

| Title | Reaching High Altitudes on Mars With an Inflatable Hypersonic Drag Balloon |
| Author(s) | Griebel, Hannes Stephan |
| Publication | Wiesbaden, 1. Imprint: Vieweg+Teubner Verlag
2. Vieweg+Teubner Verlag, 2010. |
| Description | XXX, 236 p. 183 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The concept of probing the atmosphere of planet Mars by means of a hypersonic drag balloon, a device known as a ???ballute???, is a novel approach to planetary science. In this concept, the probe deploys an inflatable drag body out in space and may then enter the atmosphere either once or several times until it slowly descends towards the ground, taking continuous atmospheric and other readings across a large altitude and ground range. Hannes Griebel discusses the theory behind such a mission along with experience gained during its practical implementation, such as mission design, manufacturing, packing and deployment techniques as well as ground and flight tests. The author also studies other ballute applications, specifically emergency low Earth orbit recovery and delivering payloads to high altitude landing sites on Mars |

| Title | What Makes Airplanes Fly? : History, Science, and Applications of Aerodynamics |
| Author(s) | Wegener, Peter P |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 1991. |
| Description | X, 225 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Developed for humanities students at Yale and intended for the general reader interested in flight, this book is about aerodynamics in the broadest sense. To put the science into its social context, the author describes (with many illustrations) the history of human attempts to fly and discusses the outlook for future developments, as well as the social impact of commercial aviation. Although only elementary mathematics is used, the underlying science is discussed rigorously, but clearly, and with an emphasis on the visualizable aspects. Thus readers whose background is not in physics will deepen their knowledge of physics, gain an understanding of what keeps the huge airliners up, and appreciate some of the details of the exciting recent developments in technology |

| Title | Recent Development of Aerodynamic Design Methodologies : Inverse Design and Optimization |
| Author(s) | Fujii, Kozo;Dulikravich, George |
| Publication | Wiesbaden, 1. Imprint: Vieweg+Teubner Verlag
2. Vieweg+Teubner Verlag, 1999. |
| Description | XI, 221 p. 161 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has made remarkable progress in the last two decades and is becoming an important, if not inevitable, analytical tool for both fundamental and practical fluid dynamics research. The analysis of flow fields is important in the sense that it improves the researcher's understanding of the flow features. CFD analysis also indirectly helps the design of new aircraft and/or spacecraft. However, design methodologies are the real need for the development of aircraft or spacecraft. They directly contribute to the design process and can significantly shorten the design cycle. Although quite a few publications have been written on this subject, most of the methods proposed were not used in practice in the past due to an immature research level and restrictions due to the inadequate computing capabilities. With the progress of high-speed computers, the time has come for such methods to be used practically. There is strong evidence of a growing interest in the development and use of aerodynamic inverse design and optimization techniques. This is true, not only for aerospace industries, but also for any industries requiring fluid dynamic design. This clearly shows the matured engineering need for optimum aerodynamic shape design methodologies. Therefore, it seems timely to publish a book in which eminent researchers in this area can elaborate on their research efforts and discuss it in conjunction with other efforts |

| Title | Satellite Dynamics : Symposium S??o Paulo/Brazil June 19???21, 1974 |
| Author(s) | Giacaglia, G.E.O;Stickland, A.C |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1975. |
| Description | VIII, 376 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This volume includes original papers presented at the 4th Symposium on Satellite Dynamics held at the XII Annual Plenary Meeting of COSPAR. At a time where it might be thought that very few problems were left un?? solved in celestial mechanics, we discover that new and more challenging questions must be answered. The pre?? cision of observations reaches the centimeter level and physical phenomena which had been disregarded come into play. We need a better treatment of atmospheric drag, radiation forces, and a better knowledge of the earth's gravitational field. Time has to be precisely defined as well as reference systems, including improved values for precision and nutation. The question of resonances introduced by nonzonal harmonics was to be carefully in?? vestigated. Numerical integration techniques must be optimized and means of controlling their errors improved. Analytical techniques must be made appropriate for com?? puter processing. Presently existing methods of solu?? tions of differential equations of interest to celestial mechanics are getting cumbersome as all these new facts come to light. It is clear that entirely new and more effective methods are necessary. These methods must, among other requirements, take into account the essential nonlinear character of the equations. Finally, the mo?? tion about the center of mass of a satellite is becoming an essential need for the thorough understanding and de?? scription of the orbital motion |
