Release Date: 2000-06-14
This non-technical and well illustrated book tells the story of what was accomplished during the Shuttle-Mir programme by three of the astronauts. Based on interviews granted to the author by the astronauts, the book describes the experiments they took and the lessons they learned. In doing so it provides a unique insight into how adversity and challenges can be overcome in the process of exploration, making it ideally suited to those planning space missions of a long-duration. Amongst the topics covered are: growing food in space, curing disease with space crystals, and lessons learned form Mir. It also contains interviews with managers of the space programme at the Johnson Space Centre and scientists involved in the experiments.
Human Space Exploration
This book is written for people who are interested to learn more about human space exploration and the advanced system applications. This book specifically covers the introduction of human space exploration systems, system trends, system management, system requirements, space life protection, material production, human space remote sensing, and the human space exploration missions. In this book, nine in-depth state-of-the-art human space exploration system areas are covered: Chapter 1 introduces the subject of human space exploration and many of the missions associated with it. Chapter 2 presents the human space exploration management in the area of definition, review, and structure. Chapter 3 discusses the human space exploration architecture and definition of LEO, GEO, Moon, and Mars missions. Chapter 4 describes the human space exploration systems and trends in the areas of air, water, food, waste, radiation protection, health care, and system trends. Chapter 5 describes human space exploration system and subsystem requirements. Chapter 6 presents the on-orbit life protection design and life support engineering. Chapter 7 discusses on-orbit microgravity materials research and production. Chapter 8 describes human space remote sensing systems. Chapter 9 presents human space exploration missions of the Earth and to the Moon and Mars. This book will support to open new door for the human space exploration of the Earth, Moon, and Mars in this century. Nations who explore the new space will be the people willing to take chance to do something new with their future as human being did in the exploration of America in history. The Earth is a small world now. Human space exploration is coming to travel and to develop a new world just as they did in the past for the America as an example.

A complete history of human endeavors in space, this book also moves beyond the traditional topics of human spaceflight, space technology, and space science to include political, social, cultural, and economic issues, and also commercial, civilian, and military applications. In two expertly written volumes, Space Exploration and Humanity: A Historical Encyclopedia covers all aspects of space flight in all participating nations, ranging from the Cold War–era beginnings of the space race to the lunar landings and the Apollo-Soyuz mission; from the Shuttle disasters and the Hubble telescope to Galileo, the Mars Rover, and the International Space Station. The book moves beyond the traditional topics of human spaceflight, space technology, and space science to include political, social, cultural, and economic issues, and also commercial, civilian, and military applications. Produced in conjunction with the History Committee of the American Astronautical Society, this work divides its coverage into six sections, each beginning with an overview essay, followed by an alphabetically organized series of entries on topics such as astrophysics and planetary science; civilian and commercial space applications; human spaceflight and microgravity science; space and society; and space technology and engineering. Whether investigating a specific issue or event or tracing an overarching historic trend, students and general readers will find this an invaluable resource for launching their study of one of humanity's most extraordinary endeavors.
