| Description | XXII, 334 p. 102 illus., 101 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The European Space Agency has a long history of human spaceflight, working with both NASA and the Soviet/Russian space agencies over the years. This book tells the story of the ESA astronauts who have visited the International Space Station and their contributions to its development and success. For example, ESA built the Columbus science laboratory, as well as the Cupola, the Leonardo PMM and the ATV supply ship. But it is the human endeavor that captures the imagination. From brief visits to six-month expeditions and spacewalking to commanding Earth???s only outpost in space and doing experiments, ESA astronauts ??? whose personal stories are also told ??? have played a vital role in the international project. Many of their efforts are documented in photographs in the book. In following up on the missions covered in this author???s earlier title, In the Footsteps of Columbus (2016), this book highlights European missions from the 2013 Volare mission of Luca Parmitano to his 2019 Beyond mission and includes first flights for Alexander Gerst, Samantha Cristoforetti, Andreas Mogensen, Tim Peake, and Thomas Pesquet |

| Author(s) | Lund, Tom |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XIII, 391 p. 193 illus., 92 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Luna 2, launched by the USSR in 1959, was the first spacecraft from Earth to land on the moon. That first voyage was followed by increasingly capable lunar exploration spacecraft from Russia and the United States. A total of 36 successful lunar exploration missions were conducted from 1959 to the last Apollo manned exploration in 1972 and the final travels of the Lunokhod lunar rover in 1973. Of all the missions, that of Apollo 17 was the pinnacle of manned space exploration. Apollo 17 astronauts traveled 21 miles on the lunar surface in a dune buggy-type vehicle, stopping frequently to explore and gather samples. The spacecraft that enabled lunar exploration were ingenious, and reflected the best efforts of talented people working with the technology of the day. This book showcases the engineering involved in those incredible machines. The spacecraft covered, and their missions, are listed below. From the United States: ??? Ranger ??? Photography en route to lunar impact ??? Lunar Orbiter ??? Photography of front and back side of moon ??? Surveyor ??? Soft landing, photography, and soil analysis ??? Apollo ??? Manned exploration. Lunar Rover expanded range From the USSR: ??? Luna 2 ??? Photography en route to lunar impact ??? Luna 3 ??? Photography of back side of moon on flyby ??? Luna 9 and 13 ??? Soft landing, photography, and soil analysis ??? Luna 10, 11, 12, 14 ??? Photography from lunar orbit ??? Luna 16, 20, 24 ??? Soft landing, return of soil sample to Earth ??? Lunokhod-1, -2 ??? Lunar roving vehicle driven from Earth ??? L1 ??? Planned manned lunar flyby but only flew unmanned ??? L3 ??? Planned manned lunar landing but never flew to moon To tell the story of these spacecraft, Tom Lund draws on over 40 years??? work on aircraft and spacecraft systems. He was technical lead for the landing radars for the Surveyor and Apollo spacecraft, and his practical experience is augmented by master???s degrees in electrical engineering, physics, and business administration |

| Title | Mars One : The Ultimate Reality TV Show? |
| Author(s) | Seedhouse, Erik |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2017. |
| Description | XXIII, 174 p. 93 illus., 84 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book dissects the hype and hubris of the Mars One venture. Every aspect of the mission design is scrutinized, from the haphazard selection process to the unproven mission architecture. A controversial project, many professional astronauts consider Mars One a reckless attempt, yet it gained popular attention. This go-to reference guide provides the reader with insights into the myriad issues arising from the project's loss of funding, loss of sponsorship, loss of TV rights. It explains what contributed to an overly optimistic assessment of Mars One's mission-specific technology, and what captivated the public and the many willing candidates despite these flaws. From the author of Survival and Sacrifice in Mars Exploration (2015) among many more books on spacefaring, this is yet another up-to-the-minute account of an emerging player in the private space market from an expert on the subject |

| Title | The Laser Inventor : Memoirs of Theodore H. Maiman |
| Author(s) | Maiman, Theodore H |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XXXIX, 312 p. 89 illus., 45 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | In these engaging memoirs of a maverick, Theodore H. Maiman describes the life events leading to his invention of the laser in 1960. Maiman succeeded using his expertise in physics and engineering along with an ingenious and elegant design not anticipated by others. His pink ruby laser produced mankind???s first-ever coherent light and has provided transformational technology for commerce, industry, telecom, the Internet, medicine, and all the sciences. Maiman also chronicles the resistance from his employer and the ongoing intrigue by competing researchers in industry and academia seeking to diminish his contribution in inventing the first laser. This work will appeal to a wide readership, from physicists and engineers through science enthusiasts to general readers. The volume includes extensive photos and documentary materials related to Maiman???s life and accomplishments never before published. "No one beat Maiman to the laser. How important is the laser? How important are all lasers? That is how important we have to regard Maiman???s contribution.He and the laser changed all of our lives, everyone???s!" Dr. Nick Holonyak, Jr., Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Physics, University of Illinois at Champaigne-Urbana, and inventor of the light-emitting diode (LED) and co-inventor of the transistor laser "More than five decades later, we can safely conclude that Theodore Maiman's groundbreaking discovery changed the world. Our modern life just as scientific research would be quite different without the laser." Dr. Ferenc Krausz, Director, Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics, Garching, Germany, and Professor of Physics, Ludwig Maximilian University, Munich, and pioneer in attosecond lasers and attophysics "Maiman had the stroke of genius needed to take a different approach [from his competitors]. The sheer elegance and simplicity of his design belies the intellectual achievement it represents. If his invention seems obvious to some today, it was far from obvious in 1960." Jeff Hecht, authoritative science writer on the historical development of the laser, author of books on lasers and fiber optics |
