PDF-(DOWNLOAD)-Project Mercury Familiarization Manual Manned Satellite Capsule

On October 4 1957 at 1028 Moscow time a rocket carrying the worlds first orbiting satellite roared into space signaling a new era in human history and the beginning of the socalled space race an epic rivalry pitting the technological knowhow of the Soviet Union against that of the United States Despite some highly publicized failures the USA managed to answer the Russians with the successful launch of Explorer 1 in January of 1958 The next major milestone would be to put a human into orbit a goal that defined the USAs Project Mercury After a long series of test launches including a suborbital flight with the chimp Ham on board Mercury astronaut Alan Shepard became the first American in space On May 5 1961 Shepard rode a Redstone rocket into space for a suborbital flight that lasted under 16 minutes Nine months later John Glenns Friendship 7 capsule was launched into space atop an Atlas booster and Glenn became the first American to orbit the earth Glenn remained in space for nearly five hours and circled the planet three times While these flights represented enormous achievements neither was an outright space race victory cosmonaut Yuri Gagarins orbital flight of April 12 1961 earned him the title of first man in space and first man to orbit the Earth Designed by brilliant engineer Max Faget and a team at NASA the Mercury space capsule represented an entirely new class of vehicle Just large enough for a single astronaut the joke about the cramped capsule was that it was worn not ridden Despite reports otherwise the capsule could be and was flown by astronauts who had attitude control thrusters at their disposal and a window for viewing The capsule also boasted manual reentry controls Created by NASA and contractor McDonnell Aircraft this Familiarization Manual explains all the systems aboard the Mercury space capsule including cabin controls environmental and stabilization controls and systems launch and reentry sequence procedures and navigation and communications equipment and procedures Dating from June of 1962 it represents a late revision of documents created at the beginning of the Mercury program Originally restricted this manual has been declassified and is presented in its entirety running nearly 400 pages.

This is Book Three in a three-volume reproduction series of the original Project Gemini Familiarization Manual issued by NASA/McDonnell in 1966. It has been restored and is now available in paperback format for the first time in its entirety. The original manual contained 16 separate sections covering all the different assemblies and systems of the Gemini capsule. Section 8 was intentionally removed from the original manual because it contained information about the Guidance and Control System and, at the time, was classified as CONFIDENTIAL. Section 8 has been restored as well and, in keeping with the original plan, is published as a separate manual (Book Three). Book One - Sections 1-9 (section 8 is not included). Book Two - Sections 10-16. Book Three - Section 8 (Originally marked Confidential) On the 25th anniversary of the moon landing, an exciting new memoir in the tradition of Yeager and The Right Stuff. Deke Slayton was recently described by Buzz Aldrin as the only astronaut capable of telling the real story of the space program. Now he does just that in exciting, powerful fashion. 16 pages of photos. Full coverage of the design, engineering, development and flight operations of NASA\'s Mercury spacecraft, which in addition to several unmanned tests supported two piloted ballistic sub-orbital flights in 1961 and four piloted orbital flights between 1962 and 1963.The Mercury programme bridged the gap between the hypersonic X-15 and the two-man Gemini spacecraft, which in turn led to the Apollo spacecraft. MERCURY - AMERICA\'S FIRST PILOTED SPACECRAFT 1958-1963 completes the Haynes Workshop manual series of US and Russian piloted space vehicles and serves as a precursor to a possible Hynes Workshop Manual on the NASA Orion deep-space exploration vehicle scheduled to fly in 2018 on the Space Launch System, the world\'s biggest rocket.The emphasis in the book will on describing the design, engineering and technology of the Mercury spacecraft rather than on the missions, which are comprehensively covered in several previously published books. In this way the Workshop Manual brand line is maintained as a reference to the way machines are built and operated. Ever wondered how the US learned to spy on the world from space? Here\'s the story of the secret tech revolution spawned by the cold war. Developing reconnaissance and surveillance-camera technology to track Russia\'s military strength was a deeply covert mission in itself. Mull in secret.
