Download or read book The Artemis Lunar Program written by Manfred “Dutch” von Ehrenfried and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-05-12 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the future of the Artemis Lunar Program from the years 2017 to about 2030. Despite the uncertainty of the times and the present state of space exploration, it is likely that what is presented in this book will actually happen, to one degree or another. As history has taught us, predictions are often difficult, but one can see enough into the future to be somewhat accurate. As the Bible says, “Wesee thru the glass, but darkly.” All of the elements of the proposed program are described from several perspectives: NASA’s, the commercial space industry and our International partners. Also included are descriptions of the many vehicles, habitats, landers, payloads and experiments. The book tells the story of the buildup of a very small space station in a strange new lunar orbit and the descent of payloads and humans, including the first women and next man, to the lunar surface with the intent to evolve a sustained presence over time.

Book excerpt: The bestselling author of The Martian returns with an irresistible new near-future thriller—a heist story set on the moon. Jasmine Bashara never signed up to be a hero. She just wanted to get rich. Not crazy, eccentric-billionaire rich, like many of the visitors to her hometown of Artemis, humanity’s first and only lunar colony. Just rich enough to move out of her coffin-sized apartment and eat something better than flavored algae. Rich enough to pay off a debt she’s owed for a long time. So when a chance at a huge score finally comes her way, Jazz can’t say no. Sure, it requires her to graduate from small-time smuggler to full-on criminal mastermind. And it calls for a particular combination of cunning, technical skills, and large explosions—not to mention sheer brazen swagger. But Jazz has never run into a challenge her intellect can’t handle, and she figures she’s got the ‘swagger’ part down. The trouble is, engineering the perfect crime is just the start of Jazz’s problems. Because her little heist is about to land her in the middle of a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself. Trapped between competing forces, pursued by a killer and the law alike, even Jazz has to admit she’s in way over her head. She’ll have to hatch a truly spectacular scheme to have a chance at staying alive and saving her city. Jazz is no hero, but she is a very good criminal. That’ll have to do. Propelled by its heroine’s wisecracking voice, set in a city that’s at once stunningly imagined and intimately familiar, and brimming over with clever problem-solving and heist-y fun, Artemis is another irresistible brew of science, suspense, and humor from #1 bestselling author Andy Weir.

Download or read book Human Spaceflight and Exploration written by Carol Norberg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-18 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents a unique overview of activities in human spaceflight and exploration and a discussion of future development possibilities. It provides an introduction for the general public interested in space and would also be suitable for students at university. The book includes the basics of the space environment and the effects of space travel on the human body. It leads through the challenges of designing life support systems for spacecraft as wells as space suits to protect astronauts during extravehicular activities. Research being carried out by humans in Earth orbit is being brought into context to other forms of space exploration. Between the end of 2007 and May 2009 ESA, the European Space Agency, carried out an astronaut recruitment process. It was the first time that astronauts had been recruited newly to the corps since its creation in 1998 and the positions were open to citizens of all of the member states of ESA. Two of the contributors to this book participated in the selection process and hence contribute to a general discussion of how one carries out such a selection programme. The book concludes with one person’s experience of flying aboard the space shuttle on a mission to map planet Earth, bringing together topics taken up in earlier parts of the book.

Download or read book Artemis written by Sorita D'Este and published by Avalonia. This book was released on 2024-06-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Artemis: Virgin Goddess of the Hunt & Moon, Sorita d'Este offers a thorough scholarly examination of Artemis, a multifaceted deity venerated in antiquity not only as the goddess of the hunt and the moon but also as a powerful figure associated with childbirth, women, music, dance, and wild animals. This volume provides a comprehensive exploration of her vast influence and worship throughout the ancient world. Artemis, daughter of the Titaness Leto and the Olympian god Zeus, emerges as a significant and complex figure from birth, assisting her mother during the delivery of her twin brother, Apollo. Artemis held a unique place in Zeus' affections, receiving numerous gifts and privileges that elevated her status among the Olympian deities. Over the centuries, she assumed various roles, including Potnia Theron, the Huntress, and Mother Goddess. The latter role inspired her temple at Ephesus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and mentioned in the Bible. This major religious site saw Artemis worshipped by the Melissa Priestesses as a Mother Goddess rather than as the young huntress. This volume details the primary myths, powers, and cult practices surrounding Artemis, offering a study of her temples and sanctuaries, the festivals held in her honour, and her diverse roles in ancient mythology. The text delves into the animals sacred to her, her relationships with her virgin attendants and other gods and goddesses, and the myriad titles attributed to her, making it an essential resource for those seeking an understanding of this enduring goddess. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Second edition of the 2005 book by the same author, Artemis: Virgin Goddess of the Sun and Moon.
Download or read book Picturing the Space Shuttle written by John Bisney and published by University of Florida Press. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rare views of the beginnings of a historic space program After the excitement of the first Moon landing, the U.S. space program took an ambitious new direction closer to home: NASA's Space Shuttle program promised frequent access to Earth orbit for medical and scientific breakthroughs; deploying, repairing and maintaining satellites; and assembling a space station. Picturing the Space Shuttle is the first photographic history of the program's early years as the world's first space plane debuted. Showcasing over 450 unpublished and lesser-known images, this book traces the growth of the Space Shuttle from 1965 to 1982, from initial concept through its first four space flights. The photographs offer windows into designing the first reusable space vehicle as well as the construction and testing of the prototype shuttle Enterprise. They also show the factory assembly and delivery of the Space Shuttle Columbia, preparations at the major NASA field centers, and astronaut selection and training. Finally, the book devotes a chapter to each of the first four orbital missions, STS-1 through STS-4, providing an abundance of seldom seen photos for each flight. Mostly selected from J. L. Pickering's personal archive, the world's largest private collection of U.S. human space flight images, the high-quality photographs in this book are paired with veteran journalist John Bisney's detailed descriptions and historical background information. The book also includes images of NASA and Shuttle contractor booklets, manuals, access badges, and press kits, as well as a foreword by Robert Crippen, the pilot of the first Space Shuttle flight. Picturing the Space Shuttle recreates the excitement of an era in which the possibilities of space exploration seemed limitless.
Download or read book Arrow of Artemis written by Ashley Michelle and published by . This book was released on 2017-11-11 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cursed bloodline. A bloodthirsty beast. A single bite. The only thing Loren Bell cared about was passing all of her college finals and getting some much-needed sleep. She didn’t account for having a dropped-down, dragged-out fight for her life with a mythical creature (who by all accounts shouldn’t exist). Hanging on by a thread, she ended up in the clutches of a mysterious man named Solomon Kane and his team of hunters known only as “spiders.” In an attempt to escape, Loren comes face to face with another prisoner, Niklaus Grimm—a Lycan who was losing the battle with his beast. The unlikely pair formed an alliance, leaving Niklaus to help Loren as the bite she received awakens the Lycan gene in her body. As they navigate their fragile bond, things become more complicated as old friends turn to enemies and insidious plans begin to unfurl around them. Niklaus knows that his only weakness now is the fragile female with hair as fiery as her tongue. He can only hope that he has the power to protect her because their enemies are willing to destroy her if it means getting what they want.
