Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new neighbors don’t seem interested in socializing . . . “An enormously enjoyable first contact story . . . from a talented new voice in sci-fi.” —A.G. Riddle, bestselling author of The Atlantis Gene Three years ago, a spaceship landed in an open field in the quiet mill town of Sorrow Falls, Massachusetts. It never opened its doors, and for all that time, the townspeople have wondered why the ship landed there, and what—or who—could be inside. Then one day a government operative—posing as a journalist—arrives in town, asking questions. He discovers sixteen-year-old Annie Collins, one of the ship’s closest neighbors and a local fixture known throughout the town, who has some of the answers. As a matter of fact, Annie Collins might be the most important person on the planet. She just doesn’t know it . . . “Doucette’s dry sense of humor and obvious affection for his characters go a long way.” —Kirkus Reviews “Doucette delights with this wonderful example of speculative fiction that relies on startling concepts, beginning with ‘What if an alien ship landed and then nothing happened?’ . . . plenty of humor and action move the plot along. This excellent work will appeal to readers from middle school through adulthood.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Book excerpt: Long before the NASA was the throes of planning for the Apollo voyages to the Moon, many people had seen the need for a vehicle that could access space routinely. The idea of a reusable space shuttle dates at least to the theoretical rocketplane studies of the 1930s, but by the 1950s it had become an integral part of a master plan for space exploration. The goal of efficient access to space in a heavy-lift booster prompted NASA's commitment to the space shuttle as the vehicle to continue human space flight. By the mid-1960s, NASA engineers concluded that the necessary technology was within reach to enable the creation of a reusable winged space vehicle that could haul scientific and applications satellites of all types into orbit for all users. President Richard M. Nixon approved the effort to build the shuttle in 1972 and the first orbital flight took place in 1981. Although the development program was risky, a talented group of scientists and engineers worked to create this unique space vehicle and their efforts were largely successful. Since 1981, the various orbiters -Atlantis, Columbia, Discovery, Endeavour, and Challenger (lost in 1986 during the only Space Shuttle accident)- have made early 100 flights into space. Through 1998, the space shuttle has carried more than 800 major scientific and technological payloads into orbit and its astronaut crews have conducted more than 50 extravehicular activities, including repairing satellites and the initial building of the International Space Station. The shuttle remains the only vehicle in the world with the dual ability to deliver and return large payloads to and from orbit, and is also the world's most reliable launch system. The design, now almost three decades old, is still state-of-the-art in many areas, including computerized flight control, airframe design, electrical power systems, thermal protection system, and main engines. This significant new study of the decision to build the space shuttle explains the shuttle's origin and early development. In addition to internal NASA discussions, this work details the debates in the late 1960s and early 1970s among policymakers in Congress, the Air Force, and the Office of Management and Budget over the roles and technical designs of the shuttle. Examining the interplay of these organizations with sometimes conflicting goals, the author not only explains how the world's premier space launch vehicle came into being, but also how politics can interact with science, technology, national security, and economics in national government.

Download or read book Linking the Space Shuttle and Space Stations written by David J. Shayler and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-06-27 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How could the newly authorized space shuttle help in the U.S. quest to build a large research station in Earth orbit? As a means of transporting goods, the shuttle could help supply the parts to the station. But how would the two entitles be physically linked? Docking technologies had to constantly evolve as the designs of the early space stations changed. It was hoped the shuttle would make missions to the Russian Salyut and American Skylab stations, but thesewere postponed until the Mir station became available, while plans for getting a new U. S. space station underway were stalled. In Linking the Space Shuttle and Space Stations, the author delves into the rich history of the Space Shuttle and its connection to these early space stations, culminating in the nine missions to dock the shuttle toMir. By 1998, after nearly three decades of planning and operations, shuttle missions to Mir had resulted in: • A proven system to link up the space shuttle to a space station• Equipment and hands-on experience in handling tons of materials• An infrastructure to support space station assembly and resupply Each of these played a pivotal role in developing the skills and procedures crucial to the creation of the later, much larger and far more complex International Space Station, as described in the companionvolume Assembling and Supplying the ISS: The Space Shuttle Fulfills Its Mission.

Download or read book Zero Gravity written by deep bora and published by deep bora. This book was released on 2004-11 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The original price of this book is estimated at 15 trillion United States American dollars. Reason; Zero Gravity is a concept which will soon overlap our day to day functionings. Care must be taken here to correlate zero gravity machines with the simple term signifying "zero gravity". The author, Deep Bora does not intend identifying a far more common usage term for ' zero gravity ' as weightlessness effects in outer space when earth's gravitational force stops asserting its influence upon humans and other inanimate objects! No. In this book: Emphasis is placed on machines which can successfully create zero gravity effects for fuelling planes, rockets and flight space ships -- upon earth, within earth's atmosphere and in deep space. However, in its entirety this book is a very fast paced futuristic science fiction story. Additionally, you...... The reader, will find detailed lessons intended for the interplanetary investigator. His interplanetary chief of star walks counter 2 intelligentsia teaches him certain subtle and practical lessons. Read on, comprehending how a person can become totally calm and composed from within. ..... Controlling his or her deep internal thoughts and emotions which never surface in one's conscious lifetime. These are those parts of the human psyche which modern medicines, psychology and psychiatry cannot control whatsoever. * It is stated that modern technology and medicine has discovered only one billionth of the human brain and its secretly hidden, concealed activities. Wow. That upon discovering and revealing 2 billionths of the human brain, humans will be able to regenerate their hairs and teeth many times over through one's lifetime. Etc. That the modern day diseases will become matters of the past and controlled human regeneration -- after degeneration inevitably occurs -- under suitable medical advice will take over. That was slightly off regular course and a slight diversion. It is comparable to modern day robotic operations being performed by computerized machines inside hi tech operation theatres. Of course the presence of experienced medical surgeons is of utmost necessity under such circumstances! * ......Learn how the inter- planetary investigator ultimately develops such inherent human powers. Understand how easily a person can utilise the strength of an opponent and win a ' friendly' duel -- of any nature. This is a science fiction story involving inter planetary star fields' agents. At a different time, the chief of inter-planetary star fields intelligentsia, teaches the investigator "how one can keep one's mind cool at all times. His lessons continue, on remaining unperturbed even while fighting at close combat positions; utilising the strength of an opponent to win. ************************************ (Low Speed; "Future; Travelling Technique Book.") A science fiction story involving inter planetary star fields' agents. At a certain pre arranged time, the chief of inter-planetary star fields' intelligentsia teaches the investigator "how to maintain cool mind at all times. He teaches lessons on how one can remain unperturbed even while fighting at close combat positions; utilising the strength of the opponent to win.

Download or read book The Untold Stories of the Space Shuttle Program written by Davide Sivolella and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-26 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In September 1969, several months after the Apollo 11 lunar landing, President Richard M. Nixon established the Space Task Force to chart NASA’s path for the decades to come. This imaginative vision was shattered less than six months later when, on January 13, 1970, NASA Administrator Dr. Thomas Paine announced that, owing to funding cuts, only the reusable Space Shuttle could be afforded -- there would be no space station, no return to the Moon, and no missions to Mars. This is a story never before told about the missions and technologies that NASA had begun to plan but never fully realized. The book is a companion to the author’s previous two works on the Space Shuttle. Whereas the first two books showed how the Space Shuttle flew in space and what the program accomplished, this book explains what more the Space Shuttle could have achieved and how the space transportation system could have further matured if circumstances had been otherwise. A final chapter also discusses how some of these plans might be resurrected in future programs.
