Download or read book Space Leadership written by Sergey Ryazanskiy and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-04-01 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who has ever dreamed of becoming an Astronaut? This book is about the challenging experience of leading an international team of astronauts, most of them scientists, living and working together in a highly confined environment, i.e. the International Space Station (ISS). It explores the kind of knowledge and skills that are required to lead a group of leaders without any kind of formal authority. It also enquires on the kind of team leadership you need to succeed in a multitask mission, that is basically controlled by various institutions based outside the station. The main question raised in this book is: What can leaders in organizations located on earth learn from such a unique, outer-space experience? Preparation for leadership in “space-coping” along with space challenges that the leader has to face and managing the return to earth. The report and reflections of the Russian Space leader, Sergey Ryazanskiy, are presented in three parts: • How do you prepare yourself for such a mission? • How do you cope with the challenges in the space station? • How do you manage your re-entry on earth? In earthly leadership terms, these questions are asking: • How do you prepare yourself for a new leadership assignment or role? • How do you deal with the unknown and the unexpected in your organization? • How do you cope with a re-assignment which is much less exciting and challenging than the one you just completed Each part of the book includes some key learnings and practical leadership guidelines. Even more, the readers can find a comprehensive leadership model developed around this unique space adventure by a team of academics and consultants working closely with Sergey.

Download or read book Beyond Our Future in Space written by Chris Impey and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2015-04-13 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Expansive and enlightening. . . . Impey packs his prose with wonderful anecdotes and weird factoids.”—New York Times Book Review Human exploration has been an unceasing engine of technological progress, from the first homo sapiens to leave our African cradle to a future in which mankind promises to settle another world. Beyond tells the epic story of humanity leaving home—and how humans will soon thrive in the vast universe beyond the earth. A dazzling and propulsive voyage through space and time, Beyond reveals how centuries of space explorers—from the earliest stargazers to today’s cutting-edge researchers—all draw inspiration from an innate human emotion: wanderlust. This urge to explore led us to multiply around the globe, and it can be traced in our DNA. Today, the urge to discover manifests itself in jaw-dropping ways: plans for space elevators poised to replace rockets at a fraction of the cost; experiments in suspending and reanimating life for ultra-long-distance travel; prototypes for solar sails that coast through space on the momentum of microwaves released from the Earth. With these ventures, private companies and entrepreneurs have the potential to outpace NASA as the leaders in a new space race. Combining expert knowledge of astronomy and avant-garde technology, Chris Impey guides us through the heady possibilities for the next century of exploration. In twenty years, a vibrant commercial space industry will be operating. In thirty years, there will be small but viable colonies on the Moon and Mars. In fifty years, mining technology will have advanced enough to harvest resources from asteroids. In a hundred years, a cohort of humans born off-Earth will come of age without ever visiting humanity’s home planet. This is not the stuff of science fiction but rather the logical extension of already available technologies. Beyond shows that space exploration is not just the domain of technocrats, but the birthright of everyone and the destiny of generations to come. To continue exploration is to ensure our survival. Outer space, a limitless unknown, awaits us.

Book excerpt: A brilliantly inventive novel about three astronauts training for the first-ever mission to Mars, an experience that will push the boundary between real and unreal, test their relationships, and leave each of them—and their families—changed forever. “A transcendent, cross-cultural, and cross planetary journey into the mysteries of space and self....Howrey’s expansive vision left me awestruck.”—Ruth Ozeki “Howrey's exquisite novel demonstrates that the final frontier may not be space after all.”—J. Ryan Stradal In an age of space exploration, we search to find ourselves. In four years, aerospace giant Prime Space will put the first humans on Mars. Helen Kane, Yoshihiro Tanaka, and Sergei Kuznetsov must prove they’re the crew for the historic voyage by spending seventeen months in the most realistic simulation ever created. Constantly observed by Prime Space’s team of "Obbers," Helen, Yoshi, and Sergei must appear ever in control. But as their surreal pantomime progresses, each soon realizes that the complications of inner space are no less fraught than those of outer space. The borders between what is real and unreal begin to blur, and each astronaut is forced to confront demons past and present, even as they struggle to navigate their increasingly claustrophobic quarters—and each other. Astonishingly imaginative, tenderly comedic, and unerringly wise, The Wanderers explores the differences between those who go and those who stay, telling a story about the desire behind all exploration: the longing for discovery and the great search to understand the human heart.
