{"product_id":"9783319330921","title":"Human Missions to Mars","description":"\u003cp\u003eA mission to send humans to explore the surface of Mars has been the\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eultimate goal of planetary exploration since the 1950s, when von Braun\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003econjectured a flotilla of 10 interplanetary vessels carrying a crew of at\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eleast 70 humans. Since then, more than 1,000 studies were carried out\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eon human missions to Mars, but after 60 years of study, we remain in the\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eearly planning stages. The second edition of this book now includes an\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eannotated history of Mars mission studies, with quantitative data wherever\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003epossible.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eRetained from the first edition, Donald Rapp looks at human missions\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eto Mars from an engineering perspective. He divides the mission into a\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003enumber of stages: Earth’s surface to low-Earth orbit (LEO); departing from\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLEO toward Mars; Mars orbit insertion and entry, descent and landing;\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eascent from Mars; trans-Earth injection from Mars orbit and Earth return.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eFor each segment, he analyzes requirements for candidate technologies.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn this connection, he discusses the status and potential of a wide range\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eof elements critical to a human Mars mission, including life support\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003econsumables, radiation effects and shielding, microgravity effects, abort\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eoptions and mission safety, possible habitats on the Martian surface and\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eaero-assisted orbit entry decent and landing. For any human mission to\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ethe Red Planet the possible utilization of any resources indigenous to\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMars would be of great value and such possibilities, the use of indigenous\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eresources is discussed at length. He also discusses the relationship of lunar\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eexploratio\u003c\/p\u003en to Mars exploration.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eDetailed appendices describe the availability of solar energy on the Moon\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eand Mars, and the potential for utilizing indigenous water on Mars.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe second edition provides extensive updating and additions to the first\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eedition, including many new figures and tables, and more than 70 new\u003c\/p\u003e  references, as of 2015.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Year: \u003c\/strong\u003e2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImprint: \u003c\/strong\u003eSpringer International Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eFormat: P\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWeight (Gram): 9124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Donald Rapp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41240926585010,"sku":"9783319330921","price":2878011.09,"currency_code":"IDR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0502\/5382\/4178\/products\/3319330926.01_SCLZZZZZZZ.jpg?v=1635503423","url":"https:\/\/readabook.store\/en-id\/products\/9783319330921","provider":"READABOOK BY ALKEM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
