Synopsis
A comprehensive resource on the past, present, and future of spacetechnology Researchers in optics, materials processing, and telecommunicationsrequire a reference that can provide a quick study of a number ofbasic topics in space science. The two-volume Encyclopedia of SpaceScience and Technology represents an ambitious collection of theunderlying physical principles of rockets, satellites, and spacestations; what is known by astronomers about the sun, planets, galaxy, and universe; and the effect of the space environment onhuman and other biological systems. The Encyclopedia covers avariety of fundamental topics, including: * A state-of-the-art summary of the engineering involved inlaunching a rocket or satellite * The control systems involved on the ground, in orbit, or in deepspace * Manufacturing in space from planetary and other resources Physicists, astronomers, engineers, and materials and computerscientists, as well as professionals in the aircraft, telecommunication, satellite, optical, and computer industries andthe government agencies, will find the Encyclopedia to be anindispensable resource., Die "Encyclopedia of Space Science and Technology" ist ein umfassendes 2-bändiges Nachschlagewerk zum Thema Weltraumwissenschaft und -technologie. Das Werk beschreibt die zugrundeliegenden physikalischen Grundsätze, die den Bau von Raketen, Raumfahrzeugen und Raumstationen möglich machen, erläutert detailliert die Erkenntnisse über Sonne, Mond, Mars und andere Planeten und die Auswirkungen der Weltraumumgebung auf menschliche und andere biologische Systeme, auf verschiedene Materialien, usw. Auch im Bereich Weltraumtechnologie gibt die Enzyklopädie eine topaktuelle Zusammenfassung über die verschiedenen Disziplinen der Ingenieurswissenschaften, die beim Start einer Rakete oder bei der Verbringung eines Satelliten in den Weltraum involviert sind sowie über die Kontrollsysteme am Boden, im Orbit oder im äu eren Weltraum. Autor Hans Mark ist ein sehr bekannter Experte. Für dieses Werk hat er die besten Fachleute auf diesem Gebiet als Coautoren gewinnen können. "Encyclopedia of Space Science and Technology" - das ultimative Nachschlagewerk für Forscher in den Bereichen Optik und Materialverarbeitung, Telekommunikation und in den Zulieferindustrien, die sich rasch einen Überblick verschaffen wollen über eine Vielzahl grundlegender Themen der Weltraumwissenschaft., A comprehensive resource on the past, present, and future of space technology Researchers in optics, materials processing, and telecommunications require a reference that can provide a quick study of a number of basic topics in space science.
