Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this the third book in the Orbits Series, the intrepid crew of the Excelsior travels to Mars in search of crewmen Rosalind's long lost husband. Their desperate search is interrupted by a stop at the beautifully designed deep space station Pegasus, where communist dissident LiMing rejoins the crew to assist in their fight and flight from the communist menace. On Pegasus, Rosalind undergoes a religious experience but then must desperately escape from the bowels of the most fearsome warship of the Chinese Space Force - the Xi Jinping after gaining intelligence of her husband's whereabouts. The battle ensues when Captain Thomas Major guides his beloved Excelsior into a trojan asteroid field where he must match wits with a Red Dragon interceptor fighter hunting Rosalind's husband. The final battle culminates at Mars where Captain Major executes the most daring maneuver to directly confront the warship Xi Jinping. The battle over, Rosalind finds what she has been seeking since joining Excelsior. She comes to realize the meaning of her fond memories, and realizes she has found a new home on Excelsior. A trilogy of the Orbits Series thus completed, the crew is ready for a new set of adventures to begin.
Download or read book Out of Orbit written by Chris Jones and published by House of Anansi. This book was released on 2008-05-01 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In February 2003, American astronauts Donald Pettit and Kenneth Bowersox and Russian flight engineer Nikolai Budarin were on a routine fourteen-week mission maintaining the International Space Station. But then the space shuttle Columbia exploded far beneath them. With the launch program suspended indefinitely, these astronauts had suddenly lost their ride back to earth. Out of Orbit chronicles the efforts of the beleaguered mission controls in Houston and Moscow as they worked frantically against the clock, ultimately settling on a plan that felt, at best, like a long shot. Latched to the side of the space station was a Russian-built Soyuz TMA-1 capsule, the rocket equivalent of a 1976 Gremlin. Despite the inherent danger, the Soyuz became the only hope to return Bowersox, Budarin, and Pettit home. Their harrowing journey back to earth is a powerful reminder that space travel remains an incredibly dangerous pursuit.

Download or read book Leonhard Euler and the Foundations of Celestial Mechanics written by Dora Musielak and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intention of this book is to shine a bright light on the intellectual context of Euler’s contributions to physics and mathematical astronomy. Leonhard Euler is one of the most important figures in the history of science, a blind genius who introduced mathematical concepts and many analytical tools to help us understand and describe the universe. Euler also made a monumental contribution to astronomy and orbital mechanics, developing what he called astronomia mechanica. Orbital mechanics of artificial satellites and spacecraft is based on Euler’s analysis of astromechanics. However, previous books have often neglected many of his discoveries in this field. For example, orbital mechanics texts refer to the five equilibrium points in the Sun-Earth-Moon system as Lagrange points, failing to credit Euler who first derived the differential equations for the general n-body problem and who discovered the three collinear points in the three-body problem of celestial mechanics. These equilibrium points are essential today in space exploration; the James Webb Space Telescope (successor to the Hubble), for example, now orbits the Sun near L2, one of the collinear points of the Sun-Earth-Moon system, while future missions to study the universe will place observatories in orbit around Sun-Earth and Earth-Moon equilibrium points that should be properly called Euler-Lagrange points. In this book, the author uses Euler’s memoirs, correspondence, and other scholarly sources to explore how he established the mathematical groundwork for the rigorous study of motion in our Solar System. The reader will learn how he studied comets and eclipses, derived planetary orbits, and pioneered the study of planetary perturbations, and how, old and blind, Euler put forward the most advanced lunar theory of his time.
Download or read book Orbital 2100 written by Paul Elliott and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-09-25 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orbital 2100 is a science fiction setting for Cepheus Engine and other Classic 2D6 SF RPGs. It has realistic (TL 9) feel that is set within our own solar system. The Earth is locked in a Cold War with the people of Luna. Both face off, 400,000 km apart, threatening mutual annihilation whilst they compete to colonise the moons of Jupiter and Saturn. Older colonies such as Mars and Mercury are independent and caught up in this struggle for solar system supremacy. Spacecraft use nuclear thermal rockets and create gravity by spinning pods or centrifuges, this is spaceflight as envisaged today! In keeping with the near-future and hard-science fiction themes, role-playing campaigns focus on real people doing real jobs. The game has rules, technology and advice to allow scenarios based around deep space haulage, asteroid mining, salvage, rescue and exploration. Colour cover, with B&W interior.

Download or read book From Terra to Harmonia written by Mario Morin and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2023-03-15 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year is 2140, and Expedition 1 has safely left Earth for its projected forty-year-long mission to the planet Harmonia, in hopes of settling a colony there. Humans have depleted almost all of Earth’s resources and now are on the verge of self-destruction. Although attempts have been made to restore the Earth’s ecological balance, the fate of the entire human race rests in the hands of this mission. Carrying 1000 humans in a quasi-frozen state and piloted by Captain Pierre De Grandpré and his crew, Expedition 1 is the largest and most technologically advanced spaceship of its kind. But just because it is the most capable of completing its task doesn’t mean there aren’t others who secretly want to get to Harmonia first and claim the best spot for themselves—others willing to do whatever it takes to stop Expedition 1. Soon, Expedition 1’s crew find themselves trying to defend against a vicious, devious enemy attempting to destroy them. Wondering how the enemy keeps disrupting their mission so easily, crew members begin to lose trust in one another. Is there a spy among them? If so, who? As Captain De Grandpré does everything he can to bring together the highly skilled individuals forming his crew, his vision grows ever clearer: arrive at Harmonia first before it falls into the wrong hands . . . Full of spellbinding, edge-of-your-seat moments, From Terra to Harmonia: Out of the Sun is the first book in the From Terra to Harmonia trilogy.
