Chapter 2 provides the historical context upon which the current developments in spaceflight have been built. Orbital motion will be introduced in Chapter 3, and how to get there using launch vehicles is addressed in Chapter 4. Chapters 5 and 6 look at how spacecraft are designed, and Chapter 7 addresses the additional design constraints imposed if the spacecraft has a human crew on board. Chapter 8 gives examples of current and proposed spacecraft missions, both Earth orbiting and interplanetary. Chapter 9 will look at near future manned flight developments – for example, a mission to Mars and/or space tourism. The book closes with a concluding chapter, which reflects on prospects for the future of robotic and manned space exploration.. | 出版日期 | Book 2009 | 关键词 | Popular Science; explains spaceflight; spaceflight; spaceflight for dummies; spaceflight technology | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-76572-3 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4419-2629-6 | isbn_ebook | 978-0-387-76572-3 | copyright | Springer-Verlag New York 2009 |
