TitleTIM PEAKE and BRITAIN'S ROAD TO SPACE
Author(s)Seedhouse, Erik
PublicationCham, Springer International Publishing, 2017.
DescriptionXXI, 245 p. 130 illus., 126 illus. in color : online resource
Abstract NoteThis book puts the reader in the flight suit of Britain???s first male astronaut, Tim Peake. It chronicles his life, along with the Principia mission and the down-to-the-last-bolt descriptions of life aboard the ISS, by way of the hurdles placed by the British government and the rigors of training at Russia???s Star City military base. In addition, this book discusses the learning curves required in astronaut and mission training and the complexity of the technologies required to launch an astronaut and keep them alive for months on end. This book underscores the fact that technology and training, unlike space, do not exist in a vacuum; complex technical systems, like the ISS, interact with the variables of human personality, and the cultural background of the astronauts.
