Exoplanets

door Patrick Stakem ...

Serie 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 ... Meer lezen

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

Visiting the NASA Centers, and locations of

Historic Rockets and Spacecraft

door Patrick Stakem ...

Serie 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 ... Meer lezen

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 ... Meer lezen

Exploiting the Moon

door Patrick Stakem ...

Serie 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 ... 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

NASA's Ships and Planes

Serie series Space
This book discusses the resources and infrastructure that NASA developed and applied to support space missions in the early 1960's. When the first U. S. satellite, Vanguard, went up in 1958, there was no world-wide network of tracking stations. Thus, a series of ground stations, tracking ships, and tracking aircraft were required. When the crewed capsules of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo ... Meer lezen
