| Title | The Apollo Lunar Samples : Collection Analysis and Results |
| Author(s) | Young, Anthony |
| Publication | New York, NY, 1. Imprint: Praxis
2. Springer New York, 2017. |
| Description | X, 114 p. 64 illus., 27 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book focuses on the specific mission planning for lunar sample collection, the equipment used, and the analysis and findings concerning the samples at the Lunar Receiving Laboratory in Texas. Anthony Young documents the collection of Apollo samples for the first time for readers of all backgrounds, and includes interviews with many of those involved in planning and analyzing the samples. NASA contracted with the U.S. Geologic Survey to perform classroom and field training of the Apollo astronauts. NASA???s Geology Group within the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, Texas, helped to establish the goals of sample collection, as well as the design of sample collection tools, bags, and storage containers. In this book, detailed descriptions are given on the design of the lunar sampling tools, the Modular Experiment Transporter used on Apollo 14, and the specific areas of the Lunar Rover vehicle used for the Apollo 15, 16, and 17 missions, which carried the sampling tools, bags, and other related equipment used in sample collection. The Lunar Receiving Laboratory, which was designed and built at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Texas for analysis and storage of the lunar samples returned from the Apollo lunar landing missions is also described in detail. There are also descriptions of astronaut mission training for sample collecting, with the focus on the specific portions of the mission EVAs devoted to this activity |

| Title | Lunar and Planetary Rovers : The Wheels of Apollo and the Quest for Mars |
| Author(s) | Young, Anthony |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2007. |
| Description | XXVI, 306 p. 191 illus., 65 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The Wheels of Apollo and the Quest for Mars fills a need for a complete history of the Lunar Roving Vehicle used on Apollo 15, 16 and 17, drawing on many photographs never before published. It also tells the story of the robotic rovers used on Mars, and concludes with a description of the new designs of rovers planned for The New Vision for Exploration now underway at NASA. The book provides extensive quotes from the astronauts who drove the LRV on the Moon from interviews conducted especially for the book. It also details new material from interviews of engineers and managers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory covering the robotic rovers, Sojourner, Sprit and Opportunity. The Foreword is written by David R. Scott, Commander of Apollo 15.

| Title | The Twenty-First Century Commercial Space Imperative |
| Author(s) | Young, Anthony |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2015. |
| Description | IX, 92 p. 31 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Young addresses the??impressive expansion across existing and developing commercial space business markets, with??multiple private companies??competing in the??payload launch services sector.??The author pinpoints the new markets, technologies, and players in the industry, as??well as highlighting the overall??reasons why it is important for us to develop space. NASA now relies on commercial partners to supply cargo and crew spacecraft and services to and from the International Space Station. The sizes of satellites are diminishing and their capabilities expanding, while costs to orbit are decreasing. Suborbital space tourism holds the potential of new industries and jobs. Commercial space exploration of the Moon and the planets also holds promise. All this activity is a catalyst for anyone interested in??joining the developing space industry, from students and researchers??to engineers and??entrepreneurs. As more and more satellites and rockets are launched and the business of space is expanding at a significant pace, it is??increasingly??important for scientists and engineers of many disciplines to understand how the business evolved and where it is continuing to develop. The growing field is fully explored in this concise overview to the players in this changing landscape |

| Title | The Saturn V F-1 Engine : Powering Apollo into History |
| Author(s) | Young, Anthony |
| Publication | New York, NY, 1. Imprint: Praxis
2. Springer New York, 2008. |
| Description | XXXII, 266 p. 234 illus., 162 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | When the mighty Rocketdyne F-1 engine was conceived in the late 1950s for the U.S. Air Force, it had no defined mission and there was no launch vehicle it could power. It was a bold concept to push the technological envelope of rocket propulsion in order to put massive payloads into Earth orbit. Few realized at the time that the F-1 would one day propel American astronauts to the Moon. In The Saturn V F-1 Engine, Anthony Young tells the amazing story of unbridled vision, bold engineering, explosive failures during testing, unrelenting persistence to find solutions, and ultimate success in launching the Saturn V with a 100 percent success rate. The book contains personal interviews with many Rocketdyne and NASA personnel involved in the engine???s design, development, testing and production; is lavishly illustrated with black-and-white and color photographs, many never previously published is the first complete history of the most powerful rocket engine ever built. The F-1 engine remains the high point in U.S. liquid rocket propulsion ??? it represents a period in American history when nothing was impossible |
