(Originally published in 1991, The Dream Is Alive: Space F...)
Originally published in 1991, The Dream Is Alive: Space Flight and Operations in Earth Orbit remains a valuable reference for teachers, aerospace professionals, and space enthusiasts. This now historical look at the United States manned space program and legacy spacecraft including the Space Shuttle and Space Station helps to define today’s initiatives in space. Complex systems are described in a simple and logical approach suitable for high school or college students. The Dream Is Alive also details the facilities and management of NASA and the policies surrounding technology development. It serves as an excellent textbook for an introductory course in astronautics and includes chapters on Orbital Mechanics, Spacecraft Systems, the Space Transportation System (shuttle stack components, orbiter structure and systems, mission operations and support, flight crew training, extravehicular mobility unit), Space Station Freedom (goals and design, flight elements, systems), Military Space Systems, Strategic Defense Initiative, National Aero-Space Plane, and The Future. Explanations of hardware are reinforced with over 210 photographs and illustrations.
