Manned Spaceflight Log II-2006-2012 de David J. Shayler

Manned Spaceflight Log II-2006-2012: Springer Praxis Books, cartea 158

Autor David J. Shayler, Michael D. Shayler
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 apr 2013

Notăm cu interes apariția volumului Manned Spaceflight Log II-2006-2012, o lucrare care funcționează ca un registru tehnic indispensabil pentru înțelegerea unei perioade de tranziție majore în explorarea spațială. Ca și Tim Furniss în PRAXIS Manned Spaceflight Log 1961-2006, autorii distilează experiența reală în principii acționabile și date brute, oferind o continuitate necesară documentării zborului uman. Dacă Ben Evans în Escaping the Bonds of Earth se concentrează pe o perspectivă narativă a decadelor de explorare, David J. Shayler și Michael D. Shayler optează pentru o abordare riguroasă, centrată pe date, tabele și specificații de misiune.

Putem afirma că acest volum reprezintă vârful de lance al documentării tehnice din seria Springer Praxis Books. Remarcăm o structură logică, organizată cronologic, care debutează cu o analiză a provocărilor hardware și a distincției tehnice între zborurile balistice, suborbitale și cele orbitale (inclusiv programul X-15). În contextul operei autorului, lucrarea extinde expertiza demonstrată în titluri precum Assembling and Supplying the ISS sau seria dedicată programului Gemini, făcând trecerea de la misiunile istorice la realitățile moderne ale Stației Spațiale Internaționale.

Cuprinsul indică o acoperire exhaustivă: de la jurnalele de zbor detaliate și tabelele cumulative ale activităților extravehiculare (EVA) până la proiecțiile viitoare ale programului chinezesc și planurile pentru baze lunare. Volumul nu se rezumă la o simplă listă, ci oferă contextul necesar pentru a înțelege cum fiecare misiune din perioada 2006-2012 a pus bazele pentru obiectivele anului 2020 și dincolo de acesta, totul fiind susținut grafic de numeroase fotografii, multe dintre ele color.

Cu o bibliografie impresionantă care include analize detaliate despre Spacelab Payloads și procesele de selecție ale astronauților, Shayler se concentrează pe rigoarea faptelor tehnice. În colaborare cu Michael D. Shayler, el continuă să gestioneze arhive vaste de date despre explorarea spațiului, transformând jurnalele de bord complexe în resurse accesibile pentru comunitatea academică și tehnică prin intermediul editurii Springer.

Descriere scurtă

“Manned Spaceflight Log” discusses over 40 recent spaceflights from September 2006 through September 2012, a time of great change in human spaceflight history. Following on from “Praxis Manned Spaceflight Log 1961-2006,” the authors continue the story until the end of September 2012, with new chapters detailing the development and accomplishments of human spaceflight, expanded tables and additional photographs, many in color, throughout. The book opens with a new foreword by Colonel Alfred M. Worden, USAF Retired, NASA Astronaut and CMP of Apollo 15, which reflects on the changing history of human spaceflight and the prospects for future operations.

The first chapter explains how human spaceflight has approached the different challenges of exploring space and provided the hardware to meet those challenges. This chapter also describes the various attempts  to reach orbital flight and the often confusing distinction between ballistic, sub-orbital, and so-called ‘astro-flights’ of the X-15 rocket research aircraft program. Chapter 2 recalls key historic moments and missions across five decades of human spaceflight. Each decade has provided useful lessons for the next and a foundation for future achievement. The new mission entries are collected in the third section in chronological order. A review of the next steps in human spaceflight, including plans to occupy the International Space Station well into the 2020s and the growth of the Chinese manned space program including a large space station and planned base on the Moon, is discussed in Chapter 4. The tables provide a complete up-to-date overview of human spaceflight operations and experience from April 1961 to September 2012 and a selected chronology of important milestones from those years. Completing the book is a comprehensive bibliography that lists all the major Springer-Praxis human spaceflight titles and other important works that provide the reader with a resource to continuefurther research.

Notă biografică

Having followed spaceflight activities since 1968, David Shayler has a broad range of experience and files covering all aspects of human spaceflight history. In October 1982, he created Astro Info Service to focus on his space writing and research, with lectures and educational outreach activities. Early publications included the periodicals ‘Orbiter’ on the shuttle and ‘Zenit’ on Soviet activities, and a growing range of biographies on the world’s space explorers. In 1990 David co-created the Midland Spaceflight Society and acted as its chairman. His first book was published in 1987 and since then he has authored over 20 titles, including 13 titles in the Praxis Space Library between 2000 and 2009. He has contributed to titles on human spaceflight, including the three editions of “Who’s Who in Space” (MacMillan, 1998). Personal research has been conducted at NASA JSC in Houston, and at KSC in Florida, as well as at Rice and Clear Lake Universities and NARA archives in Texas. His research continues daily and new titles are under various stages of production, some of which are available via the AIS website (www.astroinfoservice.co.uk).

Most of Michael Shayler’s knowledge and experience connected with this proposed publication comes about through David Shayler’s work with Astro Info Service. Michael is a certified proof reader and editor, and he has been the initial proof reader and editor for David’s work for both Astro Info Service and commercial publishers since 1992, as well as working freelance for Springer-Praxis. This includes work on the title, “Women in Space” (2005), “Walking in Space” (2004), “NASA’s Scientst-Astronauts” (2007), and “Russia’s Cosmonauts” (2005). He has co-authored the Springer-Praxis book “Marswalk One” (2005). As a former member of the British Interplanetary Society, Michael was an editor and article writer for their quarterly junior publication, ‘Voyage,’ for its initialfive issues until it was taken in-house. He has conducted several lectures at educational establishments on behalf of Astro Info Service, as well as research trips to the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

April 12, 1961
"Attention! This is Radio Moscow speaking...The world's first satellite spaceship, Vostock, with a man aboard, was put into orbit round the Earth." Soviet Union cosmonaut Yuri A. Gagarin becomes the first person to fly in space, completing one orbit in 108 minutes.
April 5, 2001
As NASA prepares to fly the final Shuttle missions to the International Space Station, Russia launches Soyuz TMA 21 (code-named 'Yuri Gagarin') with the 28th ISS Expedition crew aboard, celebrating 50 years of manned spaceflight. Meanwhile, in China, preparations continue for launching the nation's first Space Station (called Tiangong 1 - or Heavenly Palace 1) later in the year. The sixth decade of manned spaceflight orbital operations has truly began.
At this point in the history of human space exploration, it is timely to review the first five decades of adventure and look forward to the next decade and what it might bring. Several notable anniversaries celebrated in 2011 make it the right time to reflect and pay homage before we move forward once more.
As well as the 50th anniversary of Gagarin's Vostok flight, April 2011 also saw the 30th anniversary of the first Space Shuttle flight. Three months later, that program came to a close after its 135th mission and the completion of the majority of ISS assembly and outfitting. April also marked the 40th anniversary of the world's first orbital station, Salyut. The new Springer Manned Spaceflight Log II continues the story from 2006 up to the summer of 2012, with over 40 new entries, expanded tables and new photographs, some in color.
Also featured are:
- Details of over 40 recent missions which completed the International Space Station, serviced the Hubble Space Telescope for the final time, and commenced Chinese manned space station operations;
- A summary of techniques and achievements across 50 years of human spaceflight operations;
- A review of the next steps in human spaceflight, the birth of commercial operations, and plans for the next 20 years.
This book complements the range of manned spaceflight books from Springer-Praxis.

Caracteristici
