  • Exoplanets

    von Patrick Stakem
    Serien series Space
    This book covers the topics of the existence of planets around others stars. We think now we are unique in the Universe, but the Universe is very large. This book just touches the surface of this very exciting field. With better telescopes and data processing methods, more planets in our galaxy have been found. Dedicated planet-finding facilities on the ground and in space have been deployed. We Lesen Sie mehr

  • Apollo's Computers

    von Patrick Stakem
    Serien series Space
    Apollo was built in the era of “big iron” computer mainframes. The concept of an onboard computer for space missions was radically new. There was only one place in the world that could design the Apollo Guidance Computers, and that was MIT. It took most of the U.S.’s production of integrated circuits, another radical idea replacing individual vacuum tubes, to build the AGC’s. It took 2,000 person Lesen Sie mehr

  • Space Telescopes

    von Patrick Stakem
    Serien series Space
    This book covers the topic of Telescopes in Space. Observation of the night sky's started way before Civilization. Early humans looked at all the lights in the sky, saw that some moved, and some were fixed. What did it all mean?The initial assumption was that the Earth was the center of the Universe, and everything traveled around it. But, by observations, some “heavenly bodies” wander about in Lesen Sie mehr

  • Visiting the NASA Centers, and locations of

    Historic Rockets and Spacecraft

    von Patrick Stakem
    Serien series Space
    This book discusses the various NASA Centers across the United States, and presents what can be seen at each. Each has a specialty, and each generally has a visitor's center worth visiting. The guide also mentions nearby facilities of interest, such as the Smithsonian's two Air-and-Space Museum facilities. We will cover all of the manned (U.S.) flight hardware still in existence, including some Lesen Sie mehr

  • Exploration of the Gas Giants and the Ice Giants, Space Missions

    to Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune

    von Patrick Stakem
    Serien series Space
    This book will discuss the exploration of the four largest planets in our solar system, all located beyond the orbit of Mars. The first two, Jupiter and Saturn are termed the Gas Giants, and the next two, Neptune and Uranus, are the Ice Giants.Each has an extensive set of moons, and a ring system. Each is unique in many ways. They have been explored extensively, and more information is gained Lesen Sie mehr

  • Exploiting the Moon

    von Patrick Stakem
    Serien series Space
    Besides the technical challenges, the Apollo missions were a matter of National Prestige. In the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union, President Kennedy said we were going to the Moon and return safely before the end of the (1960's) decade, so we did. Ok, its been 50 years since I watched the first lunar landing on black & white tv. We have put satellites in lunar orbit, and Lesen Sie mehr

  • In Space Robotic Repair and Servicing of Spacecraft

    von Patrick Stakem
    Serien series Space
    This book covers the topic of On-orbit repair and servicing of spacecraft. Putting a communications satellite in synchronous orbit will set you back 100’s of millions of dollars. Once on orbit, you hope it survived the launch environment, and operates correctly. You further hope it works at least for its design lifetime, and as long as possible. This approach, based on good engineering design Lesen Sie mehr

  • ARM in Space

    von Patrick Stakem
    Serien series Space
    The ARM processor has come a long way from an obscure British microprocessor of the 1980's to being the dominant basis for the current generation of smart phones, and tablet computers, as well as its use in space They are also in television set-top boxes, routers, and embedded applications. The ARM architecture units represent the highest volume of 32-bit processors being shipped, as of this Lesen Sie mehr

  • Lunar Orbital Platform - Gateway

    von Patrick Stakem
    Serien series Space
    This book covers the topic of the Lunar Orbital Platform-Gateway (LOP-G), a renaming and restructuring of the Deep Space Gateway, a joint Russian-US effort, and associated missions. This is a step beyond the International Space Station, which will be beyond its useful lifetime in a few years, and will be decommissioned, with some parts being reused, and some re-entered. This will result in a new Lesen Sie mehr

  • Embedded in Space

    von Patrick Stakem
    Serien series Space
    The book covers the topic of Embedded Computers for Spacecraft. We need to define and explore some terms, starting with “embedded computer.” We'll look at its cpu, memory, and I/O. The Space environment is harsh, and hard on computer components. We'll review these effects, and see what additional requirements they place upon the system.Just as embedded computers are special cases of computers in Lesen Sie mehr
