From
the
reviews:
"Shayler’s book provides a step by step account of the development of this extraordinary technique and the technology that supports it. … It is well researched and referenced, includes a bibliography and an index, and is illustrated with black-and-white photos. A significant addition is the appendix … . This book provides a comprehensive overview and analysis of space walking and represents a useful addition to the literature." (International Space Review, September, 2005)
"This book is a concise account of the development of the techniques of extra vehicular activity, more commonly known as EVA or ‘space walks’. … tends to provide a good description of the EVA’s associated with the various space programmes. … This book meets all the high quality standards … books published by Springer-Praxis over the past five years or so." (Jos Heyman, New Bulletin of the Astronautical Society of Western Australia, Vol. 30 (3), 2004)
"David Shayler’s latest book looks at one of his favourite subjects, extra vehicular activity, and it shows. It covers all aspects of EVA in both the American and Russian programmes. … It has a large number of illustrations, technical drawings and a complete record of all EVAs. … This is an essential book for those who are interested in space walks, the technology as well as Moon walks." (Rex Hall, Spaceflight, Vol. 47 (5), 2005)
"David Shayler’s account of the history of extravehicular activity (EVA) is an authoritative tightly packed inventory … . The minutiae of detail are remarkable. The book has obviously been researched to a high degree … . This is more a book for someone seriously interested in the subject … . it is absolutely packed with information, and with its well presented 170 illustrations it is very readable. … All in all, an excellent and definitive reference book on the subject … ." (John Masters, Astronomy & Space, February, 2005)

Textul de pe ultima copertă
On
18
March
1965,
just
four
years
after
Yuri
Gagarin
became
the
first
man
in
space
Alexei
Leonov
left
his
Voskhod
2
spacecraft
and
became
the
first
person
to
perform
a
space
walk.
It
was
on
20
July
1969
that
Neil
Armstrong
took
his
giant
leap
for
mankind
onto
the
surface
of
the
moon.
Then
on
7
February
1984
Bruce
McCandless
became
the
first
human
satellite
as
he
flew
an
untethered
manned
manoeuvring
unit,
300
feet
from
the
shuttle.
Five
months
later
on
25
July
1984
Svetlana
Savitskaya
became
the
first
woman
to
walk
in
space.
All
this
was
accomplished
in
less
than
20
years.
Two decades later space walking had become an integral part of space operations and will continue be in the forefront of future manned spaceflight activity. We still await the 13th person to step on the moon and the first person to place their footprint on the red plains of Mars. But what does it take to prepare for and conduct a period of activity outside the spacecraft?
In Walking in Space David Shayler explores the development of space walking techniques and support hardware. In a comprehensive but highly readerable review the author draws upon original documentation, personal interviews and official post flight reports revealing the very personal experience of exploring space and the development of training techniques devised in the gravity environment of Earth for work in the vacuum of space, on the moon and eventually on Mars.

Caracteristici
First
comprehensive
review
and
analysis
of
spacewalking
techniques
and
activities
available
in
book
form
Shows the reader how EVA techniques have developed from the first such activities in the 1960s to the important role that these are playing today in the ongoing construction of the international space station
Brings to life for the first time the meticulous training needed for the hubble space telescope servicing missions, and the careful execution of the EVAs carried out during those missions, widely agreed to be the most complex of such operations ever successfully completed
Includes firsthand accounts of EVAs obtained from personal interviews with astronauts who have actually carried out EVAs, thus conveying to the reader what such a unique experience is really like
