PDF-(EBOOK)-Life in Space: NASA Life Sciences Research during the Late Twentieth Century

A littleknown yet critical part ofNASA historyLife in Space explores the many aspects andoutcomes of NASAs research in life sciences a littleunderstood endeavor thathas often been overlooked in histories of the space agency Maura Mackowskidetails NASAs work in this field from spectacular promises made during theReagan era to the major new directions set by George W Bushs Vision for SpaceExploration in the early twentyfirst centuryAt thefirst flight of NASAs space shuttle in 1981 hopes ran high for the shuttleprogram to achieve its potential of regularly transporting humans cargo andscientific experiments between Earth and the International Space StationMackowski describes different programs projects and policies initiated acrossNASA centers and headquarters in the following decades to advance research intohuman safety and habitation plant and animal biology and commercialbiomaterials Mackowski illuminates these ventures in fascinating detail bydrawing on rare archival sources oral histories interviews and site visitsWhilehighlighting significant achievements and innovations such as space radiationresearch and the Neurolab Spacelab Mission Mackowski reveals frustrationslostopportunities stagnation and dead endsstemming from frequent changes inpresidential administrations and policies For todays dreams of lunar outpostsor longterm spaceflight to become reality Mackowski argues a robust programin space life sciences is essential and the history in this book offerslessons to help prevent leaving more expectations unfulfilled.

Astonishing images of Earth from above, the phenomena of our solar system, and the celestial bodies of deep space will captivate readers and photography lovers with an interest in science, astronomy, and the great beyond. Each extraordinary photograph from the legendary space agency is paired with explanatory text that contextualizes its place in the cosmic ballet of planets, stars, dust, and matter—from Earth\'s limb to solar flares, the Jellyfish Nebula to Pandora\'s Cluster. Featuring a preface by Bill Nye, this engaging volume offers up-close views of our remarkable cosmos, and sparks wonder at the marvels of Earth and space. metal oxide . semiconductor (CMOS) active pixel sensors invented at JPL allow smaller, more efficient digital imagers than those based on charge coupled device . Other camera electronics can be integrated onto chip with pixel array: first “camera on a chip”.
