Download or read book The Interplanetary Pioneers written by National Aeronautics and Space Administration and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-10-23 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some exploratory enterprises start with fanfare and end with a quiet burial; some start with hardly a notice, yet end up significantly advancing mankind's knowledge. The Interplanetary Pioneers more closely fit the latter description. When the National Aeronautics and Space Administration started the program a decade ago it received little public attention. Yet the four spacecraft, designated Pioneers 6, 7, 8, and 9, have faithfully lived up to their name as defined by Webster, "to discover or explore in advance of others." These pioneering spacecraft were the first to systematically orbit the Sun at widely separated points in space, collecting information on conditions far from the Earth's disturbing influence. From them we have learned much about space, the solar wind, and the fluctuating bursts of cosmic radiation of both solar and galactic origin. These Pioneers have proven to be superbly reliable scientific explorers, sending back information far in excess of their design lifetimes over a period that covers much of the solar cycle. This publication attempts to assemble a full accounting of this remarkable program.

Download or read book Martian Summer written by Andrew Kessler and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A space enthusiast goes inside mission control with a motley crew of rocket scientists in this “fascinating journey of discovery peppered with humor” (Publishers Weekly). The Phoenix Mars mission was the first man-made probe ever sent to the Martian arctic. Its purpose was to find out how climate change could turn a warm, wet planet (read: Earth) into a cold, barren desert (read: Mars). Along the way, Phoenix discovered a giant frozen ocean trapped beneath the north pole of Mars, exotic food for aliens, and liquid water, and laid the foundation for NASA’s current exploration of Mars using the Curiosity rover. This is not science fiction. It’s fact. And for the luckiest fanboy in fandom, it was the best vacation ever. Andrew Kessler spent the summer of 2008 in NASA’s mission control with one hundred thirty of the world’s best planetary scientists and engineers as they carried out this ambitious operation. He came back with a story of human drama about modern-day pioneers battling NASA politics, temperamental robots, and the bizarre world of daily life in mission control.
Download or read book The Depths of Space written by Mark Wolverton and published by Joseph Henry Press. This book was released on 2004-06-04 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first spacecraft to explore the secrets of the Sun, Jupiter, Saturn, and the void beyond Pluto, the Pioneer space probes have been the trailblazers of the space age, truly going where no man has gone before. Emblazoned with the nude figures of a man and a woman, etched representations of our human form, the Pioneer generation of probes were aptly named. Launched into the inky depths of space, they were more than mere machines, they were humanity's first emissaries into deep space. And the pictorial inscriptions that adorned the crafts embodied the hopes and dreams of everyone involved in the Pioneer program. They were our humble attempt to communicate with the extraterrestrial intelligent life we imagined the probes might encounter -- they were our message in a bottle. Perhaps the most efficient, reliable, and cost effective program to come out of NASA, the Pioneer missions are a shining example of how a small and talented group of people can, against all odds, pull something off that has never been done before. Indeed, more than thirty years after its launch in 1972, Pioneer 10 is still cruising into interstellar space, sending back data as it courses through the galaxy while Pioneer 6, in solar orbit, is more than 35 years old and humankind's oldest functioning spacecraft. But despite their enduring contributions, the Pioneer project remains a footnote in space history, little more than a humble prologue to its inheritors. The Depths of Space recounts the long overdue history of Pioneer both as a scientific and technological achievement and as the story of the exceptional people who made the program possible. This tight narrative captures the black-coffee buzz of full-throttle, deadline-driven production, the sharp, intense thrill of discovery, the pang of anxiety that accompanies looming danger and ultimate loss, and the satisfaction and pride of creating an enduring legacy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook contains introductory information about the exoplanet colonization program sponsored by the Galactic Association of Intelligent Life - Earth Branch (GAILE). It is designed to help you decide whether you want to become a space pioneer and which of the eight exoplanet settlements would be right for you. Here you will find answers to questions, including: Do I have what it takes to become a pioneer?How do I get there?How long will it take?Who and what can I take with me?Where will I live?What are the plants and animals like?What is the climate like?What is the state of development of each planet?How will my lifestyle differ from the life I have on earth?Are there indigenous intelligent life forms?What jobs are available?What educational resources are there?What will I be able to do for recreation?The handbook contains 49 illustrations, including maps of the planets, star charts, diagrams, and architectural and engineering drawings of homes, work places, and the starships that transport settlers. To give you a more intimate and personal view of day-to-day life, it also includes first-person accounts by people who live on each of the exoplanets.Don't delay. Learn about opportunities on the exoplanet colonies
