  discovery propulsion rocket manual: The Development of Propulsion Technology for U.S. Space-Launch Vehicles, 1926-1991 J. D. Hunley, 2013-03-15 In this definitive study, J. D. Hunley traces the program’s development from Goddard’s early rockets (and the German V-2 missile) through the Titan IVA and the Space Shuttle, with a focus on space-launch vehicles. Since these rockets often evolved from early missiles, he pays considerable attention to missile technology, not as an end in itself, but as a contributor to launch-vehicle technology. Focusing especially on the engineering culture of the program, Hunley communicates this very human side of technological development by means of anecdotes, character sketches, and case studies of problems faced by rocket engineers. He shows how such a highly adaptive approach enabled the evolution of a hugely complicated technology that was impressive—but decidedly not rocket science. Unique in its single-volume coverage of the evolution of launch-vehicle technology from 1926 to 1991, this meticulously researched work will inform scholars and engineers interested in the history of technology and innovation, as well as those specializing in the history of space flight.
  discovery propulsion rocket manual: Ignition! John Drury Clark, 2018-05-23 This newly reissued debut book in the Rutgers University Press Classics Imprint is the story of the search for a rocket propellant which could be trusted to take man into space. This search was a hazardous enterprise carried out by rival labs who worked against the known laws of nature, with no guarantee of success or safety. Acclaimed scientist and sci-fi author John Drury Clark writes with irreverent and eyewitness immediacy about the development of the explosive fuels strong enough to negate the relentless restraints of gravity. The resulting volume is as much a memoir as a work of history, sharing a behind-the-scenes view of an enterprise which eventually took men to the moon, missiles to the planets, and satellites to outer space. A classic work in the history of science, and described as “a good book on rocket stuff…that’s a really fun one” by SpaceX founder Elon Musk, readers will want to get their hands on this influential classic, available for the first time in decades.

  discovery propulsion rocket manual: Rocket Innovation Eleanor Hawking, AI, 2025-01-30 Rocket Innovation presents a fascinating journey through the evolution of rocket science, from ancient Chinese fireworks to modern space exploration, offering a comprehensive examination of how fundamental physics and engineering principles revolutionized space travel. The book masterfully weaves together historical developments with technical insights, demonstrating how pioneers like Tsiolkovsky and Goddard laid the groundwork for humanity's greatest space achievements. Through a systematic approach, readers discover how Newton's laws of motion and basic propulsion concepts evolved into the complex spacecraft systems we see today. The text progressively builds understanding by exploring three core areas: propulsion systems, space flight physics, and modern rocket engineering challenges. Readers learn how the German V2 rockets inadvertently contributed to space program development and how the Space Race catalyzed innovations in propulsion systems and materials science. The book maintains scientific rigor while remaining accessible, using practical examples and visual aids to illustrate complex concepts, making it valuable for both engineering students and space enthusiasts. Each chapter builds upon previous knowledge, starting with fundamental principles and advancing to sophisticated applications in modern rocketry. The interdisciplinary approach highlights connections between materials science, computational fluid dynamics, and chemistry, demonstrating how multiple fields contribute to rocket development. By examining real-world examples and current technological limitations, the book provides a balanced perspective on both present capabilities and future challenges in space exploration, from suborbital flights to interplanetary travel.

  discovery propulsion rocket manual: God Is My Copilot Kenneth L. Atkins, 2022-08-08 Briefly, the book is the story of adventure from the Texas Plains city of Amarillo with a dream to fly for the Air Force. It led to action with the Strategic Air Command during the Cold War and eventually to NASA’s planetary exploration program, opening the solar system’s mysteries beyond the Moon. Highlights include a love story, the joys and risks of flying, closing the Cold War missile gap, why the United States did not fly a spacecraft to Halley’s Comet in 1986, and leading NASA’s project Stardust to capture and return to Earth dust particles from comet Wild 2 plus actual star dust from an interstellar flow across the solar system. The adventure was imbedded in a journey of faith’s role and consistency with discoveries about the Cosmos.

  discovery propulsion rocket manual: Life After Growth (2nd) Tim Morgan, 2016-10-03 NEW EDITION WITH ADDITIONAL INTRODUCTION AND END NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR Why, years after the banking crisis, is the global economy still mired in recession and burdened by enormous debts? Why have the tried-and-tested economic policies of the past failed us this time? In Life After Growth, leading City analyst Tim Morgan sets out a ground-breaking analysis of how the economy really works. Economists are mistaken, he argues, when they limit their interpretation of the economy to matters of money. Ultimately, the economy is an energy system, not a monetary one. From this, it follows that we need to think in terms of two economies, not one - a 'real' economy of work, energy, resources, goods and services, and a parallel, 'financial' economy of money and debt. These two economies have parted company, allowing the financial economy to pile up promises that the real economy cannot meet. Starting with the discovery of agriculture, Tim Morgan traces the rise of the economy in terms of work, energy and resources. The driving factor, he explains, has been cheap and abundant energy. As energy has become increasingly costly to obtain, the potential for prosperity has diminished, to the point where growth in the real economy has ceased. An immediate problem is that our commitments - including debt, investments and welfare promises - cannot be honoured, which means that we can expect the financial system to be wracked by value destruction. At the same time, we need to adapt to a future in which prosperity can no longer be taken for granted.

  discovery propulsion rocket manual: Thermitic Thermodynamics Anthony Peter Gordon Shaw, 2020-05-13 Thermites, which are generally considered to be reactive mixtures of powdered metals and metal oxides, are an important subset of energetic materials. The underlying thermodynamic properties of a given mixture dictate whether it may undergo a self-sustaining reaction, liberating heat in the process. Thermodynamic information in the existing scientific literature regarding thermitic combinations is scattered and incomplete. Currently, a comprehensive overview of this nature would be of great use to those working in the areas of pyrotechnics, pyrometallurgy, high-temperature chemistry, and materials science. Thermitic Thermodynamics solves this problem by describing the results of calculations on over 800 combinations of metal, metalloid, and metal oxide reactants. Other features include: A first-of-its-kind adiabatic survey of binary thermitic reactions Provides an overview of key trends in exothermic metal-metal oxide reactivity Describes the role of non-oxide product formation in thermitic systems Explains how to interpret the results of thermochemical calculations effectively An invaluable resource, this book provides an accessible introduction for students and is also an enduring guide for professionals.
