Contains decades of technical information and documents on aerospace technology, engineering, science, and covers the most important developments and research in air and space history.
Provides verified, open-source intelligence and analysis. Covers Jane's journals and includes partial access to Jane's defense equipment and technology solutions.
Covers all areas of space research including planets and small bodies of the solar system, space plasmas, astrophysics, materials sciences in space, physics in space, space debris, and space weather.
Provides a history of three major centers that have managed important missions since the dawn of the space age: Johnson Space Center in Houston, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, and the European Space Operations Centre in Darmstadt, Germany.
Explores some of the contributions of psychology to yesterday's great space race, today's orbiter and International Space Station missions, and tomorrow's journeys beyond Earth's orbit.
Describes the basic concepts of spaceflight operations, for both human and unmanned missions, and explains the basic subsystems of a space vehicle. The relationship of spacecraft design and the very unique space environment are also laid out, and flight dynamics are taught as well as ground segment requirements.
Provides access to papers from the 13th SpaceOps Conference on mission management, prep and implementation to operate a space vehicle, and ground operations.
Provides access to papers from the 9th SpaceOps Conference on space vehicle prep and operations, ground operations, and management tasks for preparing and operating a particular mission.
Addresses the international regulatory framework as well as the emerging regulatory framework relating to commercial space programs, space tourism, and commercial space station facilities.
Provides an overview of space technology and a holistic understanding of the system-of-systems that is a modern spacecraft. It covers launch systems, structures, power, thermal, communications, propulsion, software, entry, descent and landing, ground segment, robotics, data systems, technology, and project management.
Draws on leading aerospace experts to carry readers through mission design, from orbit selection to ground ops. Also covers technology, small spacecraft design and the cost-reduction process, manufacturing, space computers, payload design and autonomous systems.
Searches databases and selected websites from US federal agencies, offering millions of pages of authoritative government science information including research and development results.
