PDF-(BOOS)-It\'s ONLY Rocket Science: An Introduction in Plain English (Astronomers\' Universe)

Space tourism is fast becoming a reality Ordinary people around the world are starting to wonder if they could really go to space and what it would be like among them many amateur astronomers Here the author explains the basics of what is involved in getting into space from building the rocket and choosing where to go to planning the mission and getting home again The beauty of this text written by an engineer who is also an accomplished science writer is that it covers the subject comprehensively and yet is almost entirely descriptive and nonmathematical It deals with all aspects of space flight from how to leave the Earth including the design of the rocket mission planning navigation and communication to life in space and the effects of weightlessness The book also includes sections describing how an amateur can track satellites and understand their orbital parameters and on the future of space flight touching on what is and what is not possible given the present and predicted propulsion technologies.

Rocket engines are, on the one hand, so simple that you can build and fly your own model rockets very easily. On the other hand, rocket engines (and their fuel systems) are so complicated that only three countries have actually ever put people in orbit.
