PDF-(BOOS)-The Development of Propulsion Technology for U.S. Space-Launch Vehicles, 1926-1991

In this definitive study J D Hunley traces the programs development from Goddards early rockets and the German V2 missile through the Titan IVA and the Space Shuttle with a focus on spacelaunch vehicles Since these rockets often evolved from early missiles he pays considerable attention to missile technology not as an end in itself but as a contributor to launchvehicle technology Focusing especially on the engineering culture of the program Hunley communicates this very human side of technological development by means of anecdotes character sketches and case studies of problems faced by rocket engineers He shows how such a highly adaptive approach enabled the evolution of a hugely complicated technology that was impressivebut decidedly not rocket science Unique in its singlevolume coverage of the evolution of launchvehicle technology from 1926 to 1991 this meticulously researched work will inform scholars and engineers interested in the history of technology and innovation as well as those specializing in the history of space flight.

Two Voyager missions launched in 1977 to study Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and their satellites, rings and magnetic fields and continuing to the heliosphere region are still functioning over thirty years later. Radioisotope power systems have been used on the Moon, exploring the planets, and exiting our solar system. There success is a tribute to the outstanding engineering, quality control and attention to details that went into the design and production of radioisotope power generation units. Space nuclear radioisotope systems take the form of using the thermal energy from the decay of radioisotopes and converting this energy to electric power. Reliability and safety are of prime importance. Mission success depends on the ability of being able to safely launch the systems and on having sufficient electrical power over the life of the mission. Graceful power degradation over the life of a mission is acceptable as long as it is within predictable limits. Electrical power conversion systems with inherent redundancy, such as thermoelectric conversion systems, have been favored to date. Also, radioactive decay heat has been used to maintain temperatures in spacecraft at acceptable conditions for other components. This book describes how radioisotope systems work, the requirements and safety design considerations, the various systems that have been developed, and their operational history. “. . . a brilliant piece of scholarship . . .
