Human Space Exploration

About the Book

This book is written for people who are interested to learn more about human space exploration and the advanced system applications. This book specifically covers the introduction of human space exploration systems, system trends, system management, system requirements, space life protection, material production, human space remote sensing, and the human space exploration missions.

In this book, nine in-depth state-of-the-art human space exploration system areas are covered: Chapter 1 introduces the subject of human space exploration and many of the missions associated with it. Chapter 2 presents the human space exploration management in the area of definition, review, and structure. Chapter 3 discusses the human space exploration architecture and definition of LEO, GEO, Moon, and Mars missions. Chapter 4 describes the human space exploration systems and trends in the areas of air, water, food, waste, radiation protection, health care, and system trends. Chapter 5 describes human space exploration system and subsystem requirements. Chapter 6 presents the on-orbit life protection design and life support engineering. Chapter 7 discusses on-orbit microgravity materials research and production. Chapter 8 describes human space remote sensing systems. Chapter 9 presents human space exploration missions of the Earth and to the Moon and Mars.

This book will support to open new door for the human space exploration of the Earth, Moon, and Mars in this century. Nations who explore the new space will be the people willing to take chance to do something new with their future as human being did in the exploration of America in history. The Earth is a small world now. Human space exploration is coming to travel and to develop a new world just as they did in the past for the America as an example.
