Download or read book Reach for the Stars written by Gopal Raj and published by Viking Adult. This book was released on 2000 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few space programmes anywhere in the world would have had such a modest beginning: one van and a small fleet of precious bicycles used, besides other things, for ferrying parts of sounding rockets--rockets that glean information on the upper atmosphere--to the launch site. And for use as an office and laboratory was the St Mary Magdalene Church at Thumba, the small fishing village in Kerala where it all started. What the programme lacked in facilities, however, was more than made up for by the dedication of the small band of people who worked there, and their calibre. Leading this team was Vikram Sarabhai, one of the great visionaries of modern India. A great motivator of people, he was able to inspire his talented team to put India firmly on the path to space exploration. Then and now, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has continued to draw gifted people of the stature of Satish Dhawan, Brahm Prakash, A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and U.R. Rao, to list only a few. Reach for the Stars: The Evolution of India's Rocket Programme relates, for the first time, how India developed its satellite launch capability. heartbreak, and one rendered all the more difficult as most of the technology had to be developed indigenously, ranging from the rocket engines themselves to precision guidance systems. Today India is able to design and build its own Polar Satellite Launch Vehicles (PSLV) to launch remote sensing satellites used in weather forecasting, resource mapping and crop yield estimates--functions crucial to putting the country on the fast track to development. In fact, the Indian remote sensing satellites form the largest constellation of such satellites in space. From sounding rockets to PSLVs has been a huge technological jump, and in this dramatic and amazing story author Gopal Raj tells how the transition was made, and the reasoning behind some of ISRO's most difficult choices in the course of thirty-eight years. It is specially apt that the book comes when the Indian rocket programme is poised at the edge of a new phase of growth, when cryogenic technology will give India the capability to launch its own communication satellites. story of a group of people who, as with their gravity-defying rockets, could rise above their limitations to accomplish the impossible.

Download or read book Rocket Propellant Technology written by Jawaharlal "Ram" Ramnarace and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2016-01-11 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rocket Propulsion has come of age. Although its potentialities and capabilities in many areas have been recognized for centuries, it is only in recent years that scientists have had the materials and the manufacturing techniques at their command so they could control and direct the tremendous forces available. Space exploration and manned flights by astronauts have brought the science of rocketry to the attention of the general public. It has also stimulated the interest of students at all levels of advancement in the technical details of space flight. Rocket Propellant Technologies is written for serious students of astronautics. This volume reviews briefly the history of rocketry and the fundamental principles connected with rocket propulsion. Types of propellants, the chemical reactions involved, and the techniques used in manufacturing are explained. The merits of solid and liquid fuels are enumerated. Exotic propellants of the future are discussed, with reasons why their development is essential. Finally, the safety aspects of manufacturing and testing rocket propellants are given in detail. The Amateur Rocket Association under whose guidance this series has been prepared, serves as a focal point for many related activities, bringing new ideas to the attention of its members and offering suggestions for future lines of research.

Download or read book Handbook of Space Security written by Kai-Uwe Schrogl and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Space Security involves the use of space (in particular communication, navigation, earth observation, and electronic intelligence satellites) for military and security purposes on earth and also the maintenance of space (in particular the earth orbits) as safe and secure areas for conducting peaceful activities. The two aspects can be summarized as "space for security on earth" and “the safeguarding of space for peaceful endeavors.” The Handbook will provide a sophisticated, cutting-edge resource on the space security policy portfolio and the associated assets, assisting fellow members of the global space community and other interested policy-making and academic audiences in keeping abreast of the current and future directions of this vital dimension of international space policy. The debate on coordinated space security measures, including relevant 'Transparency and Confidence-Building Measures,' remains at a relatively early stage of development. The book offers a comprehensive description of the various components of space security and how these challenges are being addressed today. It will also provide a number of recommendations concerning how best to advance this space policy area, given the often competing objectives of the world's major space-faring nations. The critical role to be played by the United States and Europe as an intermediary and "middle diplomat" in promoting sustainable norms of behavior for space will likewise be highlighted. In providing a global and coherent analytical approach to space security today, the Handbook focuses on four areas that together define the entire space security area: policies, technologies, applications, and programs. This structure will assure the overall view of the subject from its political to its technical aspects. Internationally recognized experts in each of the above fields contribute, with their analytical synthesis assured by the section editors.

Download or read book Ignition written by John Drury Clark and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-23 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This newly reissued debut book in the Rutgers University Press Classics Imprint is the story of the search for a rocket propellant which could be trusted to take man into space. This search was a hazardous enterprise carried out by rival labs who worked against the known laws of nature, with no guarantee of success or safety. Acclaimed scientist and sci-fi author John Drury Clark writes with irreverent and eyewitness immediacy about the development of the explosive fuels strong enough to negate the relentless restraints of gravity. The resulting volume is as much a memoir as a work of history, sharing a behind-the-scenes view of an enterprise which eventually took men to the moon, missiles to the planets, and satellites to outer space. A classic work in the history of science, and described as “a good book on rocket stuff…that’s a really fun one” by SpaceX founder Elon Musk, readers will want to get their hands on this influential classic, available for the first time in decades.
