Earth goes through a 96’000 year cycle of warm circular orbits to long elliptical and frozen orbits of 10’000 year ice ages.and back to warm circular orbit. 1500 of Earth’s wealthiest have a plan to to save humanity from extinction during the coming Ice Age. Must be totally self sufficient to provide electric power for an unlimited future. Water and sewage treatment. Effluent to fertilize veggie and plant growth. Where and how to build such a project? Only a mountain is strong enough to withstand a mile of glacial ice. Ice age survival project has chosen Mt Mouna Loa or Mt Mouns Kea on Big Island, Hawaii. To build a habitat for survival. No subduction zones nearby, no mag 9 earthquakes, warm, constant +28 C temperature under the mountain Geothermal energy is available from the Magma pool under Mouna Loa for energy to drive steam turbine generators for unlimited electrical power. Tunnel under Mouna Kea, space for 10’000 survivors. Ms Leianna and daughter Miss Alaina, two poor but happy Hula dancers earn thier living by Hula performances at any Bar or Night club that will hire them. A casual meeting with Mr Chas Bucktrol after a dance performance, leads to Ms Leianna included in Social planning for Ice Age survival. Planning for Long stable families. Divorce is eliminated.

Download or read book Orbital Mechanics for Engineering Students written by Howard D. Curtis and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2009-10-26 with total page 740 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orbital Mechanics for Engineering Students, Second Edition, provides an introduction to the basic concepts of space mechanics. These include vector kinematics in three dimensions; Newton's laws of motion and gravitation; relative motion; the vector-based solution of the classical two-body problem; derivation of Kepler's equations; orbits in three dimensions; preliminary orbit determination; and orbital maneuvers. The book also covers relative motion and the two-impulse rendezvous problem; interplanetary mission design using patched conics; rigid-body dynamics used to characterize the attitude of a space vehicle; satellite attitude dynamics; and the characteristics and design of multi-stage launch vehicles. Each chapter begins with an outline of key concepts and concludes with problems that are based on the material covered. This text is written for undergraduates who are studying orbital mechanics for the first time and have completed courses in physics, dynamics, and mathematics, including differential equations and applied linear algebra. Graduate students, researchers, and experienced practitioners will also find useful review materials in the book. - NEW: Reorganized and improved discusions of coordinate systems, new discussion on perturbations and quarternions - NEW: Increased coverage of attitude dynamics, including new Matlab algorithms and examples in chapter 10 - New examples and homework problems

Download or read book Aerospace Engineering on the Back of an Envelope written by Irwin E. Alber and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-03-05 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engineers need to acquire “Back-of-the-Envelope” survival skills to obtain rough quantitative answers to real-world problems, particularly when working on projects with enormous complexity and very limited resources. In the case studies treated in this book, we show step-by-step examples of the physical arguments and the resulting calculations obtained using the quick-fire method. We also demonstrate the estimation improvements that can be obtained through the use of more detailed physics-based Back-of-the-Envelope engineering models. These different methods are used to obtain the solutions to a number of design and performance estimation problems arising from two of the most complex real-world engineering projects: the Space Shuttle and the Hubble Space Telescope satellite.
