Download or read book Childhood of Kalam written by Srijan Pal Singh and published by Prabhat Prakashan. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greatness is not by accident. Greatness is a quality processed, honed and learnt over a lifetime of learning and hard work. Great human beings are built when a curious mind is met with life changing lessons, often early in the childhood. Just like the nature and quality of a tree is decided by the characteristic of the seed and how it is sown, the worth of a human life is shaped in the early stage of childhood. Often these life teachings as a growing up child, transform into the values which set the boundaries of one’s adult actions and govern one’s decisions. We all know Dr. Kalam as an eminent teacher, an excellent President, an exception scientist, a talented rocket scientist, a team man, an institution builder and a man of ethics and integrity. But what went behind the scenes, in the formative days of “Little Kalam” which shaped him slowly but surely into Dr. Kalam – the man we remember and admire. This books aspires to take you in this early history of childhood of Kalam tracking “Little Kalam” as he begins his first steps into the sands of Rameshwaram – which one day will translate into a march to the Rashtrapati Bhawan.

Download or read book Titan II written by David Stumpf and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Titan II ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missile) program was developed by the United States military to bolster the size, strength, and speed of the nation's strategic weapons arsenal in the 1950s and 1960s. Each missile carried a single warhead—the largest in U.S. inventory—used liquid fuel propellants, and was stored and launched from hardened underground silos. The missiles were deployed at basing facilities in Arkansas, Arizona, and Kansas and remained in active service for over twenty years. Since military deactivation in the early 1980s, the Titan II has served as a reliable satellite launch vehicle. This is the richly detailed story of the Titan II missile and the men and women who developed and operated the system. David K. Stumpf uses a wide range of sources, drawing upon interviews with and memoirs by engineers and airmen as well as recently declassified government documents and other public materials. Over 170 drawings and photographs, most of which have never been published, enhance the narrative. The three major accidents of the program are described in detail for the first time using authoritative sources. Titan II will be welcomed by librarians for its prodigious reference detail, by technology history professionals and laymen, and by the many civilian and Air Force personnel who were involved in the program—a deterrent weapons system that proved to be successful in defending America from nuclear attack.

Download or read book Minuteman written by David Stumpf and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2021-02-26 with total page 595 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Minuteman: A Technical History of the Missile That Defined American Nuclear Warfare, David K. Stumpf demystifies the intercontinental ballistic missile program that was conceived at the end of the Eisenhower administration as a key component of the US nuclear strategy of massive retaliation. Although its nuclear warhead may have lacked power relative to that of the Titan II, the Minuteman more than made up for this in terms of numbers and readiness to launch—making it the ultimate ICBM. Minuteman offers a fascinating look at the technological breakthroughs necessary to field this weapon system that has served as a powerful component of the strategic nuclear triad for more than half a century. With exacting detail, Stumpf examines the construction of launch and launch control facilities; innovations in solid propellant, lightweight inertial guidance systems, and lightweight reentry vehicle development; and key flight tests and operational flight programs—all while situating the Minuteman program in the context of world events. In doing so, the author reveals how the historic missile has adapted to changing defense strategies—from counterforce to mutually assured destruction to sufficiency.
