This highly readable book draws on a variety of sources, pictures, drawings and detailed information from a wide range of Russian and Western archival material. - Here is a history of a truly remarkable spacecraft, which continues to show the versatility necessary to span the first five decades of human exploration of space. 459 p. many photos and drawings very good condition, with a namesticker of the previous owner.

Softcover. Almost 50 years ago, Yuri Gagarin moved the world into a new era of exploration, that of manned spaceflight. Over the next five decades and over 250 missions later, almost 500 individuals from countries around the globe have followed him into space. Yet only 27 astronauts have ventured beyond Earth orbit and then only as far as the Moon. As we plan for a return to the Moon and onwards to Mars, it is timely to look back at these missions and review their successes and achievements, as well as their setbacks. - Praxis Manned Spaceflight Log is a comprehensive guide to all the space missions, from Gagarin to the ISS and the latest Chinese Shenzhou missions. A chronological sequence of Orbital flights includes facts on the sub-orbital and ballistic flights that are a fundamental part of the quest for space. Also featured are: - - a summary of manned spaceflight mission profiles and programmes - - 'space' flights of the X-15 rocket plane and X-Prize winner Spaceship 1 - - all manned missions to the Moon and to space stations - - sub orbital manned spaceflights - - accidents, aborts and abandoned missions - This book is an invaluable companion to the range of manned spaceflight books from Springer-Praxis. 829 p. many photos very good condition, with a namesticker of the previous owner.

Softcover. Zustand: excellent condition, new book. The book focuses on the design, testing and manufacture of the F-1 engine, but also covers its incorporation into the first stage of the Saturn V and in-flight record. It concludes with an examination of what might have been, if the F-1 had not been discarded, together with the Saturn V, at the conclusion of the Apollo program. The account draws on original documents and interviews with engineers and managers, and is illustrated by many never-before-published photographs, both colour and monochrome. The intention is for this to be the definitive account of the development of this most powerful of rocket engines. As NASA is developing an evolved version of the hydrogen-burning J-2 engine for use in the forthcoming Ares launch vehicles, the author includes development of the J-2 engine within the context of the Saturn V development, thus bringing rocket engine development up to the present and thus provide this book with a long shelf life. 266 p. many photos and illustrations.
