Vuelos espaciales tripulados: libros - historia

Engins Spatiaux

Hace más de medio siglo, la Unión Soviética conmocionó al mundo con el Sputnik 1, que inspiraría terror y asombro en aquellos que pudieran captar sus señales de radio.

En cuanto a quienes dudaban de que tal hazaña fuera posible, podían simplemente quedarse en sus patios traseros y contemplar la puesta de sol. Hoy en día, cientos de miles de satélites, cohetes, sondas, módulos de aterrizaje y otros dispositivos han seguido los pasos del Sputnik.
Hemos visto amaneceres desde la Luna, hemos excavado en el suelo de Marte, hemos viajado a la órbita a bordo de la ISS mientras orbita silenciosamente nuestro planeta. Y hemos probado, desarrollado, lanzado, perdido y celebrado las máquinas más asombrosas que jamás hayan existido.

"Engins spatiaux" narra la historia de este viaje épico, hasta el programa actual: cómo llegamos hasta aquí y hacia dónde vamos. El historiador aeroespacial Giuseppe de Chiara y el historiador Michael H. Gorn se han unido para producir esta extensa colección de perfiles bellamente ilustrados y meticulosamente documentados que describen el diseño, el desarrollo y el funcionamiento de estas naves, tanto tripuladas como no tripuladas.

Satélites, cápsulas, aviones cohete, lanzadores y estaciones espaciales se muestran desde múltiples ángulos, a veces en sección transversal, acompañados de fotografías de archivo de la época que ayudan a contextualizarlos históricamente. Prepárense para asombrarse. Se dirigen hacia las estrellas.

Astronaut Manual (1961 onwards) - all roles and nationalities (Haynes Space Manual)

The Haynes Astronaut Manual provides an insight into what an astronaut does, the experience of space flight, the equipment he uses, and what it takes to become an astronaut.
Although concentrating on contemporary astronaut selection and flight, especially with NASA, ESA and Russia, it also covers astronaut experiences of pioneering missions of the past and some proposed for the near future, such as lunar flight and landing, asteroid rendezvous and travel to Mars.

The engaging text, illustrated with a wide range of photographs and illustrations, and featuring unique insight from astronauts past and present, takes the reader on a fascinating journey through an astronaut's career - from selection and training, through experiences in space, to returning to life on Earth after experiencing the vastness of space.
Essential reading for space enthusiasts and anybody interested in learning about what it takes to become an astronaut.

How Spacecraft Fly - Spaceflight without Formulae

About 65 years ago a small satellite, Sputnik 1, was launched. The satellite did very little other than to transmit a radio signal to announce its presence in orbit. However, this humble beginning heralded the dawn of the Space Age.
Today literally thousands of robotic spacecraft have been launched, many of which have flown to far-flung regions of the Solar System carrying with them the human spirit of scientific discovery and exploration. Numerous other satellites have been launched in orbit around the Earth providing services that support our technological society on the ground.

"How Spacecraft Fly: Spaceflight Without Formulae" by Graham Swinerd focuses on how these spacecraft work. The book opens with a historical perspective of how we have come to understand our Solar System and the Universe. It then progresses through orbital flight, rocket science, the hostile environment within which spacecraft operate, and how they are designed. The concluding chapters give a glimpse of what the 21st century may hold in terms of human exploration of the Solar System and more futuristic propulsion technologies for interstellar travel.

Graham Swinerd invites you to understand "how spacecraft fly," while becoming a convincing rocket scientist along the way!

Raumfahrt-Geschichte - Die 100 wichtigsten Ereignisse

El 4 de octubre de 1957, los viajes espaciales comenzaron oficialmente con el lanzamiento del satélite ruso Sputnik. Pero sus fundamentos se remontan a varios siglos atrás y se iniciaron con los primeros cohetes primitivos de combustible sólido: en 1232, se lanzó por primera vez un cohete de pólvora negra en el Imperio Chino.
Desde entonces, los acontecimientos se han sucedido rápidamente y hoy en día ya hay objetos fabricados por el hombre que han abandonado nuestro sistema solar.

Eugen Reichl recopila los 100 eventos más trascendentales en este volumen ricamente ilustrado y escrito con gran pasión. Una obra imprescindible para todo aficionado a los viajes espaciales.

Raketen - Die Internationale Enzyklopädie

There are many uses for launch vehicles: they transport satellites, components for space stations or astronauts and food into space. Without rockets, there would be no access to space, and our world with its global communication would be unthinkable!

As a proven expert, Eugen Reichl presents all the important rocket systems from the beginnings of space travel to the present day and introduces the types that will shape space travel in the future.
In addition to the data and facts about the carrier systems, the reader also learns the history of the individual space-faring nations. Unique graphics by Dietmar Röttler round off the volume.

Mondwärts - Der Wettlauf ins All

2019 marked the 50th anniversary of the moon landing - the first time humans set foot on another celestial body. To this day, it is hard to believe what an incredible technological achievement this represents - especially given the technical capabilities of the 1960s.
The entire computing power of the Apollo rocket (control, navigation, etc.) is now contained in every cheap supermarket calculator; the entire hardware was actually created on the drawing board and with the help of slide rules.

Enriched with the outstanding graphics by Dietmar Röttler, the book adequately describes the events with magnificent pictures.

SOS im Weltraum - Menschen, Unfälle, Hintergründe (Raumfahrt-Bibliothek)

The road to space was and is rocky and, despite all the apparent routine, still moves at the technical limits. When something goes wrong when igniting several hundred tons of fuel or at a speed of 27 000 km/h, it usually goes really wrong and, above all, really quickly!
And yet some of these accidents even turned out well - think of Apollo 13. The shuttle accidents of the "Challenger" or "Columbia", on the other hand, were of almost unbelievable tragedy.
