Space Safety and Rescue, 1995


Book Description

Proceedings of the October 1995 symposium, with papers on new trends in safety and quality in space programs, risk management, space debris measurement and modeling, engineering solutions for space debris mitigation, and economical aspects of debris mitigation measures. Topics include implications of TQM in the aerospace industry, liquid metal mirror for optical measurements of orbital debris, disposal of satellites using electric propulsion, and the possibility of commercial space debris management.

Space Debris 2000


Book Description

In light of increasing and increasingly serious collisions of debris with the Space Shuttle, the 29 papers look at measuring and modelling space debris and meteoroids; risk analysis and protection; and mitigation measures, space debris handbooks, and standards. The topics include space-based observations of orbital debris, numerical and experimental studies of the shaped charge for assessing space debris, and self-induced collision hazard in high and moderate inclination satellite constellations.

The Case for Mars VI


Book Description

With the cold war over, advocates of colonizing the red planet argue that overpopulation is the direst threat to our home planet and that we an additional one for the overflow. The 54 papers cover building support for low-cost missions, essential technology and proposed infrastructure, scientific and engineering measures for reducing the cost of precursor missions, and designing a habitable planet. Working groups report on such topics as programmatics and philosophy and non-government approaches. There is no subject index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
