Space exploration has fascinated us since the launch of the first
primitive rockets more than 3,000 years ago, and it continues to
fascinate us today. The data gathered from such exploration has
been hugely instrumental in furthering our understanding of our
universe and our world. In Space Flight: History, Technology, and
Operations, author Lance K. Erickson offers a comprehensive look at
the history of space exploration, the technology that makes it
possible, and the continued efforts that promise to carry us into
the future. Space Flight goes through the history of space
exploration, from the earliest sub-orbital and orbital missions to
today's deep-space probes, to provide a close look at past and
present projects, then turns its attention to programs being
planned today and to the significance of future exploration.
Focusing on research data gleaned from these exploration programs,
the book's historical perspective highlights the progression of our
scientific understanding of both the smallest and largest entities
in our universe, from subatomic particles, to distant stars,
planets, and galaxies. Both the novice and the advanced student of
space exploration stand to profit from the author's engaging and
insightful discussion.
