| Title | Perseverance and the Mars 2020 Mission : Follow the Science to Jezero Crater |
| Author(s) | von Ehrenfried, Manfred "Dutch" |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer International Publishing, 2022. |
| Description | XVIII, 258 p. 140 illus., 136 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This is the comprehensive story of NASA???s pioneering Mars 2020 mission, which at this moment continues to break ground on the surface of the Red Planet. The book takes readers through every stage of the Mars mission, describing its major goals and objectives, the cutting-edge technology and instrumentation onboard the Perseverance rover and other spacecraft components, and the members of the scientific team who steered the mission along the way. Mars 2020 is the first to actually take samples of the Red Planet and prepare them for subsequent return to Earth. The chapters therefore delve into how and why Jezero Crater was selected as the optimal landing and sample collecting site to meet the mission objectives. Featuring dozens of high-resolution images of the mission, this book gives readers a deeper understanding of the technology underlying Mars 2020 and why its work is so important for planetary science and space exploration |

| Title | Exploring the Martian Moons : A Human Mission to Deimos and Phobos |
| Author(s) | von Ehrenfried, Manfred "Dutch" |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2017. |
| Description | XVI, 255 p. 126 illus., 123 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book explores the once popular idea of 'Flexible Path' in terms of Mars, a strategy that would focus on a manned orbital mission to Mars's moons rather than the more risky, expensive and time-consuming trip to land humans on the Martian surface. While currently still not the most popular idea, this mission would take advantage of the operational, scientific and engineering lessons to be learned from going to Mars's moons first. Unlike a trip to the planet's surface, an orbital mission avoids the dangers of the deep gravity well of Mars and a very long stay on the surface. This is analogous to Apollo 8 and 10, which preceded the landing on the Moon of Apollo 11. Furthermore, a Mars orbital mission could be achieved at least five years, possibly 10 before a landing mission. Nor would an orbital mission require all of the extra vehicles, equipment and supplies needed for a landing and a stay on the planet for over a year. The cost difference between the two types of missions is in the order of tens of billions of dollars. An orbital mission to Deimos and Phobos would provide an early opportunity to acquire scientific knowledge of the moons and Mars as well, since some of the regolith is presumed to be soil ejected from Mars. It may also offer the opportunity to deploy scientific instruments on the moons which would aid subsequent missions. It would provide early operational experience in the Mars environment without the risk of a landing. The author convincingly argues this experience would enhance the probability of a safe and successful Mars landing by NASA at a later date, and lays out the best way to approach an orbital mission in great detail. Combining path-breaking science with achievable goals on a fast timetable, this approach is the best of both worlds--and our best path to reaching Mars safely in the future |

| Title | The Birth of NASA : The Work of the Space Task Group, America's First True Space Pioneers |
| Author(s) | von Ehrenfried, Manfred "Dutch" |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2016. |
| Description | XV, 358 p. 157 illus., 48 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This is the story of the work of the original NASA space pioneers; men and women who were suddenly organized in 1958 from the then National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics (NACA) into the Space Task Group. A relatively small group, they developed the initial mission concept plans and procedures for the U. S. space program. Then they boldly built hardware and facilities to accomplish those missions. The group existed only three years before they were transferred to the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, Texas, in 1962, but their organization left a large mark on what would follow. Von Ehrenfried's personal experience with the STG at Langley uniquely positions him to describe the way the group was structured and how it reacted to the new demands of a post-Sputnik era. He artfully analyzes how the growing space program was managed and what techniques enabled it to develop so quickly from an operations perspective. The result is a fascinating window into history, amply backed up by first person documentation and interviews |

| Title | Apollo Mission Control : The Making of a National Historic Landmark |
| Author(s) | von Ehrenfried, Manfred "Dutch" |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XV, 285 p. 164 illus., 81 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book describes the history of this now iconic room which represents America???s space program during the Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, Apollo-Soyuz and early Space Shuttle eras. It is now a National Historic Landmark and is being restored to a level which represents the day the flight control teams walked out after the last lunar landing missions. The book is dedicated to the estimated 3,000 men and women who supported the flights and tells the story from their perspective. It describes the rooms of people supporting this control center; those rooms of engineers, analysts and scientists most people never knew about. Some called it a ???shrine??? and some called it a ???cathedral.??? Now it will be restored to its former glory and soon thousands will be able to view the place where America flew to the moon. |

| Title | From Cave Man to Cave Martian : Living in Caves on the Earth, Moon and Mars |
| Author(s) | von Ehrenfried, Manfred "Dutch" |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2019. |
| Description | XVIII, 320 p. 138 illus., 124 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book explores the practicality of using the existing subsurface geology on the Moon and Mars for protection against radiation, thermal extremes, micrometeorites and dust storms rather than building surface habitats at great expense at least for those first few missions. It encourages NASA to plan a precursor mission using this concept and employ a ???Short Stay??? Opposition Class mission to Mars as the first mission rather than the ???Long Stay??? concept requiring a mission that is too long, too dangerous and too costly for man???s first missions to Mars. Included in these pages is a short history on the uses of caves by early humans over great periods of time. It then describes the ongoing efforts to research caves, pits, tunnels, lava tubes, skylights and the associated technologies that pertain to potential lunar and Mars exploration and habitation. It describes evidence for existing caves and lava tubes on both the Moon and Mars. The work of noted scientists, technologists and roboticists are referenced and described. This ongoing work is more extensive than one would think and is directly applicable to longer term habitation and exploration of the Moon and Mars. Emphasis is also given to the operational aspects of working and living in lunar and Martian caves and lava tubes |
