  • 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

  • Introduction to Spacecraft Control Centers

    von Patrick Stakem
    Serien series Space
    This book covers the topic of satellite control centers. We'll take a look at the historical development of satellite control centers, from the earliest efforts of the iconic Apollo Mission Control at Houston. Mention a spacecraft control center, and every one remembers the one from the movie Apollo-13.The primary focus will be NASA efforts, but similar facilities are in use by other spacefaring Lesen Sie mehr

  • Spaceports

    von Patrick Stakem
    Serien series Space
    A port is a point of departure or arrival. This book covers the topic of Spaceports. Like an airport or a train station, these are hubs that people and cargo come to for a transportation system. Some launch sites allow for vertical launch, and some allow for horizontal take off and landing. These are indistinguishable from airports, although the runways are usually longer. Spaceports are the Lesen Sie mehr

  • Rocketplanes to Space

    von Patrick Stakem
    Serien series Space
    This book covers the topic of Spaceplanes, that are launched to orbit, and return to a runway landing. The most common example of a Spaceplane is the Space Shuttle. This discussion is limited to crewed vehicles, and is not comprehensive. This is book ten in a series on Space related topics. Predecessors to the Spaceplane was the Rocket aircraft, starting in Germany prior to World War-2. The Lesen Sie mehr

  • Planetary Defense

    von Patrick Stakem
    Serien series Space
    This book covers the topic of Earth's Planetary Defense. This is not for the purposes of repelling an alien invasion, although the military has probably thought of that. Any civilization that could reach us is undeniably more technological advanced.We are focused, however, on big chunks of rock that could cause massive damage, and end civilization as we know it. It has happened – ask the dinosaurs 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

  • Space Weather

    von Patrick Stakem
    Serien series Space
    This book covers the topic of weather in space, which is defined by our Sun. It interacts with our atmosphere and magnetic field (actually the atmosphere and magnetic fields (if any) of all the planets and moons), to influence our weather. It can impact our technology as well.The study of Space Weather depends on space physics. All of our Space Weather originates with the Sun. The first serious Lesen Sie mehr

  • Mars

    von Patrick Stakem
    Serien series Space
    Missions to Mars and beyond are lengthy and expensive, and dangerous. The Red planet has fascinated mankind for thousands of years. Many thousands of years of position data have been recorded. We have robotic spacecraft in Martian orbit, and landers and rovers on the surface. The next step is to go there, with boots on the ground. Decades of time, and hundreds of millions of dollars are required. 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

  • Crewed Spacecraft

    von Patrick Stakem
    Serien series Space
    Let me be clear at the beginning – when I say crewed spacecraft. I mean spacecraft with humans aboard. Young, or old, male or female, space travel is an equal opportunity hazardous endeavor. As of this writing, three spacefaring nations have put 559 humans into space, the Soviet Union/Russia, the United States, and China. Numerous astronauts from many other nations have hitched a ride. We are Lesen Sie mehr

  • Space Command, Military Operations in Space

    von Patrick Stakem
    Serien series Space
    It was recently decided to create an arm of the Military to cover space operations. This is called Space Command.In 1946, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) had been in charge of Civilian aviation, as well as several rocket-plane projects. They were involved in the early efforts to launch a satellite for the International Geophysical Year (actually 18 months). The launch of the Lesen Sie mehr
