Introduction to Rocket Science and Engineering, Second Edition, presents the history and basics of rocket science, and examines design, experimentation, testing, and applications. Exploring how rockets work, the book covers the concepts of thrust, momentum, impulse, and the rocket equation, along with the rocket engine, its components, and the physics involved in the generation of the propulsive force. The text also presents several different types of rocket engines and discusses the testing of rocket components, subsystems, systems, and complete products. The final chapter stresses the importance for rocket scientists and engineers to creatively deal with the complexities of rocketry.

The aircraft is only a transport mechanism for the payload, and all design decisions must consider payload first. Simply stated, the aircraft is a dust cover. "Fundamentals of Aircraft and Airship Design, Volume 1: Aircraft Design" emphasizes that the science and art of the aircraft design process is a compromise and that there is no right answer; however, there is always a best answer based on existing requirements and available technologies.

Out of the Labyrinth is a literary romance novel of ideas about synchronicity, reincarnation, and unprecedented uses of technologytold from the viewpoint of a freethinker in search of enlightened peers with whom to jam, an authentic mystic with whom to study, and an intellectual babe with whom to shack up.... After a decade of conducting experiments in posthumous sustain with the use of super computers and theurgic drugs, a wealthy programming wiz has a suspicious motorcycle accident, falls into a coma, but is sustained by a computer system and his Zen teacher, an American original with extraordinary powers.... The books mellifluous language, the keen psychological insights, the succinct articulation of the main philosophical arguments for and against the existence of god, the insightful connections among classics from The Republic to Ulysses, and the synthesis of Western skepticism with Eastern mysticism comprise a profoundly original thesis about humanitys potential for immortality in this universe and on to others, beginning in the here and nowtold from the perspective of a freethinker looking for the intellectual babe of his dreams while his alter ego is pestering him to hurry up and get laid....

A New Era In Space Transportation contains selected papers presented at the 27th International Astronautical Congress, held in Anaheim, California in October 1976. The book presents a survey of the trends and developments in astronomical research in the world. The proceedings cover a variety of points of view on the aspects of space transportation. It is divided into four parts. Part I is devoted to theme sessions, lectures, and a comprehensive look into the American and European programs of space transportation. The second part addresses certain areas in the fields of Engineering and Life Sciences such as Astrodynamics, Bioastronautics, Fluid Dynamics, Materials and Structures, Propulsion, Fluid Dynamics of Planetary Atmospheres, and Laser Uses in Propulsion. Part III deals with Space Technology and Space Systems. The final part focuses on relevant applications like telecommunications, remote sensing of earth resources, and material processing in space. Engineers, astronomers, astrophysicists, biologists, industrialists, and researchers in the field of space technology will find this book a good source of information.
