NASA’s Mercury astronauts were seven highly skilled professional test pilots. Each of them seemed to possess the strength of character and commitment necessary to overcome apparently insurmountable obstacles as the United States entered into a Cold War space race with the Soviet Union. This was never more evident than on the epic suborbital MR-4 flight of Liberty Bell 7 with astronaut Virgil (‘Gus’) Grissom piloting the spacecraft to a successful splashdown, followed by the premature b

This is the story of humankind’s quest over centuries to learn the true nature of the most dominant object in our Solar System: the Sun.

Award-winning science writer Peter Bond describes in detail how our ideas about the Sun have changed over the millennia, starting with the simple observations of classical astronomy and continuing through telescopic observations to the age of nuclear physics. He shows how we discovered the Sun’s basic characteristics – its distance, size, temperature a

Luftfahrtunternehmen befinden sich in einem Markt mit hohen Wachstumsraten, doch immer wieder erschüttern Krisen die Luftfahrt. Doch nicht nur krisenbedingte Nachfrageeinbrüche stellen Luftfahrtunternehmen vor Schwierigkeiten, auch die fortwährende Globalisierung und der zunehmende Marktwettbewerb - vor allem durch Low Cost Airlines - führen selbst in Wachstumszeiten immer wieder zu Insolvenzen von Luftfahrtunternehmen. Letztlich müssen sie im hart umkämpften Markt Strategien finden, um dauer

This book explains how the Apollo crews learned to work on the lunar surface. Its lively and informative text draws heavily on transcripts and photographs to illustrate points. It puts the reader on the lunar surface with the astronauts, sharing their observations, excitement, and frustrations. The carefully selected photographs show the stark beauty of the lunar surface. There are excerpts from the mission transcripts in which the Apollo astronauts on the lunar surface discuss their progress

This book takes the reader on a journey through the history of extremely ambitious, large and complex space missions that never happened. What were the dreams and expectations of the visionaries behind these plans, and why were they not successful in bringing their projects to reality thus far?
 
As spaceflight development progressed, new technologies and ideas led to pushing the boundaries of engineering and technology though still grounded in real scientific possibilities. Exampl
