| Title | Stratospheric Balloons : Science and Commerce at the Edge of Space |
| Author(s) | von Ehrenfried, Manfred ???Dutch??? |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2021. |
| Description | XXIV, 354 p. 159 illus., 153 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Stratospheric balloons are powerful tools used to study the Earth and its atmosphere, as well as the greater cosmos beyond. This book describes the science and technology behind modern stratospheric ballooning, along with the surprising ways it has impacted our daily lives. The book takes you through every step of the process, starting with an in-depth introduction to basic balloon types and their uses before delving into balloon construction and mission planning. Along the way, you will learn about the novel technologies that have radically changed these balloons and their ability to launch, control and navigate them over specific ground targets. Next follows an exploration of their incredible applications, including research in atmospheric science, cosmology and astronomy, earth studies, meteorology, and aerobiology, and also commercial capabilities such as Internet networks and high-altitude tourism. The community of scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs involved in stratospheric ballooning is only ever growing. This book shows you how these national and international efforts have truly soared in recent years, and it will be an enjoyable read for anybody interested in learning more about how science and commerce are conducted in the stratosphere, at the edge of space |

| Title | The Artemis Lunar Program : Returning People to the Moon |
| Author(s) | von Ehrenfried, Manfred ???Dutch??? |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2020. |
| Description | XIV, 307 p. 122 illus., 118 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book describes the future of the Artemis Lunar Program from the years 2017 to about 2030. Despite the uncertainty of the times and the present state of space exploration, it is likely that what is presented in this book will actually happen, to one degree or another. As history has taught us, predictions are often difficult, but one can see enough into the future to be somewhat accurate. As the Bible says, ???We see thru the glass, but darkly.??? All of the elements of the proposed program are described from several perspectives: NASA???s, the commercial space industry and our International partners. Also included are descriptions of the many vehicles, habitats, landers, payloads and experiments. The book tells the story of the buildup of a very small space station in a strange new lunar orbit and the descent of payloads and humans, including the first women and next man, to the lunar surface with the intent to evolve a sustained presence over time |
