MANNED SPACE PROJECTS - Apollo to Space Stations

About the Book

This book provides a factual account of life in the Aerospace Industry as experienced by a key engineer working in the major space programs of our time. The story begins with an account of the Apollo program starting in1962, continues with experiences in the Space Shuttle and Space Station programs from 1968 to the present and gives additional accounts of the design of the Global Positioning Satellite, and evaluations of a Satellite Power System concept for generating gigawatts of electrical power for terrestrial use. The manuscript is unique in the way it uses pictures to help tell the story. And is of current interest, particularly, as NASA publicizes the return to space of the Shuttle Orbiter.
