  • Apollo's Computers

    door Patrick Stakem ...
    Serie 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 ... Meer lezen

  • In Space Robotic Repair and Servicing of Spacecraft

    door Patrick Stakem ...
    Serie 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 ... Meer lezen

Ok, its been 50 years since I watched the first lunar landing on black & white tv. We have put satellites in lunar orbit, and ... Meer lezen
