Advances in Chemical Propulsion
CRC Press 2001; US$ 219.95Complex, vast, and multidisciplinary, chemical propulsion has been the subject of extensive investigation over the past few decades. Under the leadership of Gabriel Roy, this has been particularly true at the Office of Naval Research (ONR), where his team has focused on the three primary goals of combustion research: improving the efficiency, increasing... more...
Blast Off!
ABC-CLIO 1997; US$ 35.00Packed with fascinating facts and motivational activities, this book helps you create a thematic unit on rocketry. Lessons include information on the beginning of rocketry and explanations of basic scientific principles of rocket flight. Featuring scientific experiments for students, language activities-even a dramatic play (based on the science of... more...
The Conversion of Liquid Rocket Fuels
Springer 2004; US$ 59.95The Conversion of Liquid Rocket Fuels is the first volume to be dedicated to the demilitarization of Azerbaijan. It is the product of an exciting workshop which brought together participants from NATO member countries and partner countries to share ideas and experience. This publication investigates the possible treatment methods for hazardous ballistic... more...
Deep Space Propulsion
Springer 2011; US$ 35.99The technology of the next few decades could possibly allow us to explore with robotic probes the closest stars outside our Solar System, and maybe even observe some of the recently discovered planets circling these stars. This book looks at the reasons for exploring our stellar neighbors and at the technologies we are developing to build space probes... more...
European Identity through Space
Springer 2012; US$ 139.99Space activities are one particularly visible area, where Europe can shape its identity. This publication investigates the effect space activities have already had on building a European "spirit" (e.g. through European missions or European astronauts). It also looks into the effects that activities labelled "national" have on the... more...
Fast Solar Sailing
Springer 2012; US$ 139.99The range of solar sailing is very vast; it is a fully in-space means of propulsion that should allow us to accomplish various mission classes that are literally impossible using rocket propulsion, no matter if nuclear or electric. Fast and very fast solar sailings are special classes of sailcraft missions, initially developed only in the first half... more...
Fundamentals of Electric Propulsion
Wiley 2008; US$ 152.00Throughout most of the twentieth century, electric propulsion was considered the technology of the future. Now, the future has arrived. This important new book explains the fundamentals of electric propulsion for spacecraft and describes in detail the physics and characteristics of the two major electric thrusters in use today, ion and Hall thrusters.... more...
Future Spacecraft Propulsion Systems
Springer 2006; US$ 219.00Putting spacecraft propulsion systems in perspective, this book presents the need to break free from the old established concepts of expendable rockets, using chemical propulsion, and to develop breeds of launch vehicle capable of both launching payloads into orbit at dramatically reduced cost, and for sustained operations in low-Earth orbit. more...
Future Spacecraft Propulsion Systems
Springer 2009; US$ 169.99Demonstrates the need to break free from the old established concepts of expendable rockets, using chemical propulsion, and to develop new breeds of launch vehicle capable of both launching payloads into orbit at a dramatically reduced cost and for sustained operations in low-Earth orbit. more...
Non-Rocket Space Launch and Flight
Elsevier Science 2010; US$ 300.00In recent years scientists have investigated a series of new methods for non-rocket space launch, which promise to revolutionize space launches and flight. Particularly in the current political climate new, cheaper, and more ?fuel efficient? methods are being investigated. Such new methods include the gas tube method, cable accelerators, tether launch... more...
