خرید و دانلود نسخه کامل کتاب Human Spaceflight Operations: Lessons Learned From 60 Years in Space

The purpose of Human Spaceflight Operations: Lessons Learned from 60 Years in Space is to share collective experience on human spaceflight operations. For  the many authors, this is nothing less than a work of passion. They are  sharing their life s work with the goal of passing on their experience  to the next generation of space engineers, designers, operators, and  crew. 

 The lessons learned are applicable to anyone  working in the space industry as part of a current or future national or  international space program, private space enterprise, human, or  robotic mission. The book s chapters cover the primary technical  disciplines related to spaceflight operations. In each case, the  essential concepts and evolution of the systems and technology are  discussed in some detail, but the focus is on how spaceflight operations  are performed. Lessons learned are derived from incidents that occurred  during actual space missions. Some of these lessons are explained  directly by the astronauts who experienced them firsthand. 

 This is not a book on space mission design, of which there are many.  The aim is to shine light on the subject of space operations, as  distinct from engineering design. However, the most important lesson is  perhaps that operational requirements must be considered very carefully  in the design process. The subjects covered are wide ranging, but all  within the scope of human space mission operations. There are many other  space-related lessons learned beyond operations political, financial,  managerial, and these can be found in some of the references provided.  It is the hope of the authors that through the process of explaining how  things really work in Space and Mission Control, future missions can  benefit from the experience (and mistakes) of so many pioneers that have  come before.
