Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. 25 cm. This is volume 3 in the Frontiers of Space series. x, [2], 241, [3] pages. Illustrations. Source Notes. Abbreviations. List of Illustrations. Index. Foreword by Arthur C. Clarke. John Luther McLucas (August 22, 1920 - December 1, 2002) was United States Secretary of the Air Force from 1973 to 1975, becoming Secretary of the Air Force on July 19, 1973. He had been Acting Secretary of the Air Force since May 15, 1973, and Under Secretary of the Air Force since March 1969. Prior to his appointment as Under Secretary, he was president and chief executive officer of MITRE Corporation, of Bedford, Massachusetts, and McLean, Virginia. McLucas received his doctorate in physics from Pennsylvania State University in 1950. From 1950 to 1957, he was vice president and technical director of Haller, Raymond and Brown Inc., an electronics firm. In 1958 he was made president of HRB-Singer Inc. He joined the Department of Defense in May 1962 and served as Deputy Director of Defense Research and Engineering (Tactical Warfare Programs). Two years later, he was appointed as assistant secretary general for scientific affairs at NATO Headquarters in Paris, France. In 1966 he became president of MITRE Corp. From 1969 through 1973, McLucas also served as director of the National Reconnaissance Office, working directly for the secretary of defense with support from the Central Intelligence Agency. In November 1975, President Ford swore in Dr. McLucas as the eighth administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration. He was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 1969. Space Commerce relates the story of private enterprise's unsteady rise to prominence as a major influence on world space policy and research. The first space race proved the technological and military prowess of the two superpowers; but since the 1970s that contest has been supplanted by a multinational struggle to command the commercial opportunities of space. The commercial space age was born in 1965 when Early Bird, the first commercial communications satellite, went into orbit. With characteristic ingenuity, American industrialists began to dream of garnering billions of dollars per year from space-based products and services. In the microgravity of space, they hoped, hitherto unavailable drugs could be produced that would revolutionize medicine; in the high vacuum of space, crystals of extreme purity could be grown in orbital laboratories, both for biological research and for application in the manufacture of advanced microcircuits. John McLucas covers the broad sweep of space commerce, both the vision and the reality: the construction of communications satellites and their ground control stations; the sale and leasing of communications services; remote sensing and measurement of earth's processes; navigation by satellites, serving ships, airplanes, and automobiles; the design and deployment of space laboratories for scientific research and product development; and life science experiments to determine the effects of space habitation on humans. Drawing on his considerable expertise, McLucas brings a sober perspective to his assessment of the technological accomplishments as well as the challenges still faced by industry in space. He incorporates into his discussion an illuminating analysis of the economic and political impact of space commerce and its rapidly changing international character.
