PDF-(EBOOK)-To Orbit and Back Again: How the Space Shuttle Flew in Space (Springer Praxis

The Space Shuttle has been the dominant machine in the US space program for thirty years and has generated a great deal of interest among space enthusiasts and engineers This book enables readers to understand its technical systems in greater depth than they have been able to do so beforeThe author describes the structures and systems of the Space Shuttle and then follows a typical mission explaining how the structures and systems were used in the launch orbital operations and the return to Earth Details of how anomalous events were dealt with on individual missions are also provided as are the recollections of those who built and flew the Shuttle Many photographs and technical drawings illustrate how the Space Shuttle functions avoiding the use of complicated technical jargonThe book is divided into two sections Part 1 describes each subsystem in a technical style supported by diagrams technical drawings and photographs to enable a better understanding of the concepts Part 2 examines different flight phases from liftoff to landing Technical material has been obtained from NASA as well as from other forums and specialistsAuthor Davide Sivolella is an aerospace engineer with a lifelong interest in space and is ideally qualified to interpret technical manuals for a wider audience This book provides comprehensive coverage of the topic including the evolution of given subsystems reviewing the different configurations and focusing on the solutions implemented. office@springer.eu| www.springer.euHans-Springer-Strasse 2 | A-9360 Friesach| T +43 4268 2581-0 | F +43 4268 2581-45www.springer.euPage 1Copyright bySpringer Maschinenfabrik AG 2009 The wood-mechanisi PAM .

This unique book tells the story of the Space Shuttle from its many different roles as orbital launch platform orbital workshop and science and technology laboratory. It is exclusively focused on the technology designed and developed to support the missions of the Space Shuttle program. Each mission is cataloged and detailed in turn, together with technical and managerial issues relating to each one. Although outwardly identical, the capabilities of the orbiters in the late years of the program were quite different from those in 1981. Davide Sivolella traces the various improvements and modifications made to the shuttle over the years as part of each mission story. Thus a discussion of the Extended Duration Orbiter forms part of the STS-50 story, the need for an orbiter to replace Challenger features in the section on STS-49, and a review of the new glass cockpit comes under STS-101. 1. Technically accurate with a narrative style and simple explanations of difficult engineering concepts, it provides details of less-known concepts developed but never flown and commemorates the ingenuity of NASA and its partners in making each Space Shuttle mission a success by pushing the boundaries of what we can accomplish in space. This general, popular science book focuses on recounting the adventures of each of the missions through technical esoterica, press kits, original documents, newspaper and magazine articles, memoirs and interviews. This will therefore be the most up-to-date and comprehensive account of the shuttle\'s many missions available and will refocus interest on a quite remarkable flying machine and space program that often is kept in the background. This book is as a detailed, but highly readable and balanced account of the history of animal space flights carried out by all nations, but principally the United States and the Soviet Union. It explores the ways in which animal high-altitude and space flight research impacted on space flight biomedicine and technology, and how the results - both successful and disappointing - allowed human beings to then undertake that same hazardous journey with far greater understanding and confidence. Unlike other books which were written for younger readers, this is a comprehensive and fully researched book that will be used as the ultimate reference on the subject. Other books have concentrated on the animal space flights and research carried out by either of the two major spacefaring superpowers. This book tells the total story and will undoubtedly become the ultimate authority on animal space flights. In Energiya-Buran: the Soviet Space Shuttle, the authors describe the long development path of the Soviet space shuttle system, consisting of the Energiya rocket and the Buran orbiter. The program eventually saw just one unmanned flight in November 1988 before the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union sealed its fate.After a Foreword provided by lead Buran test pilot Igor Volk, the authors look at the experience gradually accumulated in high-speed aeronautics with the development of various Soviet rocket planes and intercontinental cruise missiles between the 1930s to 1950s and the study of several small spaceplanes in the 1960s. Next the authors explain how the perceived military threat of the US Space Shuttle led to the decision in February 1976 to build a Soviet equivalent, and explore the evolution of the design until it was frozen in 1979. Following this is a detailed technical description of both Energiya and Buran and a look at nominal flight scenarios and emergency situations, highlighting similarities and differences with the US Space Shuttle.The authors then expand on the managerial aspects of the Energiya-Buran program, sum up the main design bureaus and production facilities involved in the project and describe the infrastructure needed to transport the hardware and prepare it for launch at the Baikonur cosmodrome. They go on to detail the selection and training of teams of civilian and military test pilots for Buran, crew assignments for the first manned missions and preparatory flights aboard Soyuz spacecraft.Next the focus turns to the extensive test program that preceded the first flight of Buran, notably the often trouble-plagued test firings of rocket engines, the first flight of Energiya with the enigmatic Polyus payload, test flights of subscale models and atmospheric approach and landing tests. After an analysis of Western speculation on the Soviet space shuttle effort in the pre-glasnost era, a detailed account is given of final preparations for the maiden flight of Buran and the mission itself.In the final chapters the authors look at the gradual demise of the project in the early 1990s, the fate of the Soviet orbiters and their cosmodrome infrastructure, cancelled missions, and the many planned derivatives of the Energiya rocket. Attention is also paid to technological spin-offs such as the Zenit and Sea Launch projects and the RD-180 and RD-191 rocket engines. Finally, an overview is given of alternative spaceplane proposals during and after the Buran era, including the MAKS air-launched spaceplane, the Kliper spacecraft and various single-stage-to-orbit systems.The book closes off with key specifications of the Energiya-Buran system, short biographies of the Buran pilots, an extensive list of Russian acronyms, a short bibliographical essay and a detailed index. Based largely on Russian sources, it is richly illustrated with some 250 pictures and diagrams.Although Energiya-Buran was primarily a program of unfulfilled promises and shattered dreams, it represented a major technological breakthrough for the Soviet Union and its story deserves to be told.
