Space junkies and armchair astronauts are provided with
comprehensive, handy references for a variety of space-related
missions, vehicles, and concepts in this pocket-sized series.
Compiled with the co-operation of NASA, each topic-specific
reference features relevant statistics, photographs, and the
stories behind each project. Books on manned missions include crew
photographs, information on patches and equipment, and flight
statistics such as time in space, distance traveled, and mission
objectives. Photographs and statistics for launch vehicles,
orbiters, probes, and experimental equipment are featured in each
equipment-specific reference. Covering such design elements as
propellants, tanks, engines, and payloads, this detailed look at
the mechanism that gets it all started describes 259 types of
launch vehicles developed by China, the European Space Agency,
Japan, Russia, and the United States. Learn how these most complex
and awe inspiring machines actually work and why they call anything
that is difficult to achieve "Rocket Science".
