Book Synopsis The Difficult Road to Mars by : V. G. Perminov
Download or read book The Difficult Road to Mars written by V. G. Perminov and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perminov was the leading designer for Mars and Venus spacecraft at the Soviet Lavochkin design bureau in the early days of Martian exploration. In addition to competing with the U.S. to get to the Moon, the Soviets also struggled to beat the U.S. to Mars during the Cold War. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the Soviets attempted to send a number of robotic probes to Mars, but for a variety of reasons, most of these missions ended in failure. Despite these overall failures, the Soviets garnered a great deal of scientific and technical knowledge through these efforts. This monograph tells some fascinating, but little-known, stories.

Book Synopsis The Mars Project by : Wernher Von Braun
Download or read book The Mars Project written by Wernher Von Braun and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1953 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic on space travel was first published in 1953, when interplanetary space flight was considered science fiction by most of those who considered it at all. Here the German-born scientist Wernher von Braun detailed what he believed were the problems and possibilities inherent in a projected expedition to Mars. Today von Braun is recognized as the person most responsible for laying the groundwork for public acceptance of America's space program. When President Bush directed NASA in 1989 to prepare plans for an orbiting space station, lunar research bases, and human exploration of Mars, he was largely echoing what von Braun proposed in The Mars Project.

Book Synopsis Mars The Next Step by : Arthur E. Smith
Download or read book Mars The Next Step written by Arthur E. Smith and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-02-27 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conquest of Earth's moon was merely a precursor to a more dramatic step forward, which will take men and women to an outpost that might eventually become a second home for the human race. Mars: The Next Step illustrates how the only feasible colonization of another planet in our solar system will be on Mars. The author addresses the various questions surrounding this theory with frank scientific caution that in no way obscures his vigorous enthusiasm and, above all, optimism for mankind's future in space. This vivid and entertaining book explores "terraforming" (planetary engineering), which could turn Mars into a more congenial environment for humans, both in terms of changing the harsh climate of the planet and the production of plants able to thrive there by means of genetic engineering. The book includes numerous diagrams of possible manned spacecraft, along with color pictures of Mars taken on previous unmanned missions.
Download or read book Mission to Mars written by Buzz Aldrin and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-05-07 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can astronauts reach Mars by 2035? Absolutely, says Buzz Aldrin, one of the first men to walk on the moon. Celebrated astronaut, brilliant engineer, bestselling author, Aldrin believes it is not only possibly but vital to America's future to keep pushing the space frontier outward for the sake of exploration, science, development, commerce, and security. What we need, he argues, is a commitment by the U.S. President as rousing as JFK's promise to reach the moon by the end of the 1960 - an audacious, inspiring goal-and a unified vision for space exploration. In Mission to Mars, Aldrin plots that trajectory, stressing that American-led space exploration is essential to the economic and technological vitality of the nation and the world. Do you dare to dream big? Then join Aldrin in his thought provoking and inspiring Mission to Mars.

Book Synopsis The Case For Mars by : Robert Zubrin
Download or read book The Case For Mars written by Robert Zubrin and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-12-11 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the beginning of human history Mars has been an alluring dream; the stuff of legends, gods, and mystery. The planet most like ours, it has still been thought impossible to reach, let alone explore and inhabit. Now with the advent of a revolutionary new plan, all this has changed. Leading space exploration authority Robert Zubrin has crafted a daring new blueprint, Mars Direct, presented here with illustrations, photographs, and engaging anecdotes. The Case for Mars is not a vision for the far future or one that will cost us impossible billions. It explains step-by-step how we can use present-day technology to send humans to Mars within ten years; actually produce fuel and oxygen on the planet's surface with Martian natural resources; how we can build bases and settlements; and how we can one day "terraform" Mars; a process that can alter the atmosphere of planets and pave the way for sustainable life.
Book Synopsis Mars and Beyond by : Raymond Wisniewski
Download or read book Mars and Beyond written by Raymond Wisniewski and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-08-23 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of this book is fiction about the possible exploration of Mars in the future and travel to a near star. There are enough facts mentioned about progress in space travel to support the fact that more advanced space travel is possible. Having a colony of people on Mars could provide ideas to people living on earth to have a more healthy life. With growing world population and declining resources, because of the degrading environment we must think about life in the future. With Apollo 11, Neil Armstrong was able to set foot on the surface of the moon and give the first opportunity for astronauts to travel in space outside of the earths orbit. He wore a pressurized space suit to move about on the moons surface. Because the moon has no air or water, he had to return to earth in a short time. Additional Apollo trips were made to the moon including a moon buggy for short range transportation. Further trips to the moon were canceled because of the development of the International Space Station and the Shuttle. Rocket probes and robotic rovers which made the voyage to Mars landed to explore for water and minerals. Rockets have become double edged sword that can be used for Fourth of July celebrations and for space exploration, where they are put to good use. When used in warfare as ICBMs or in small military missiles, they can become leathal tools of war. This book is partially factual dealing with rocket events that have occurred. Some of the 8 Raymond Wisniewski mostly fiction Martian rocket events, in the book, still have to happen. Hermann Oberth, a German physicist was considered, The Father of Space Travel, who Werner von Braun admired. The United States allowed Werner von Braun to come to America after World War II to prevent German missile technology from falling into Russian hands and help the U.S. Army missile programs to get started and developed. Our space technology grew from von Brauns early work on Army missiles and with his work at the NASA George C. Marshall Space Flight Center. Rocket work at Redstone Arsenal paved the way for NASA to develop the Apollo moon rocket. After the Apollo missions to the moon, rocket propulsion helped lift the Space Shuttle and Space Station into earth orbit. The idea of going to Mars was considered the next space goal. The use of robotics in space, sending a men to Mars and finding life somewhere in space has stimulated space enthusiasts. Rocket propulsion has shown that payloads can be carried from small distances to intercontinental and outer space distances. Rockets have been and are now being used for peaceful purposes to put up satellites for television, communication systems and for GPS uses. Robotic vehicles as the Curiosity rover have landed on Mars and have explored for water and atmospheric conditions. To use of robotic vehicles and robots aiding astronauts in the future can paved the way for the eventual use of human astronauts for trips to Mars. There have been many science fiction stories about Mars. The stories have told about people living on Mars in advanced societies and how easy it was to take trips to Mars and fly around in rocket spaceships. We know now that Mars has a hostile environment with no air for humans and no Mars and Beyond 9 liquid water is to be found. This book shows the challenges of going to Mars and the stars and providing life support for the astronauts. This book is dedicated to my family and friends and to those who have helped me along the way to gain knowledge and move to a life in engineering and rocket technology.
