Spacecraft Technology: The early years charts the fascinating story
of the early Space Age, encompassing the launch of the first
satellites and the landing of men on the Moon. While concentrating
on the most significant technology developments, it places them in
the context of historical events, specific missions and the
individuals that made it all happen. Following a chapter on the
pre-history of space exploration and another on the development of
rocketry, the book covers the early development of space science
satellites, Earth observation satellites, communications
satellites, lunar probes and manned space capsules. Three chapters
are dedicated to the hardware designed for the Apollo programme and
its role in transporting men to the Moon, landing them there and
transporting them across the lunar surface. Spacecraft Technology:
The early years is aimed at scientists and engineers with an
interest in the history of space activity and the general reader
who enjoys delving into the background of modern technology.
