The Human Exploration of Space by National Research Council,Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences,Space Studies Board,Commission on Physical Sciences, Mathematics, and Applications,Committee on Human Exploration Pdf

During 1988, the National Research Council's Space Science Board reorganized itself to more effectively address NASA's advisory needs. The Board's scope was broadened: it was renamed the Space Studies Board and, among other new initiatives, the Committee on Human Exploration was created. The new committee was intended to focus on the scientific aspects of human exploration programs, rather than engineering issues. Their research led to three reports: Scientific Prerequisites for the Human Exploration of Space published in 1993, Scientific Opportunities in the Human Exploration of Space published in 1994, and Science Management in the Human Exploration of Space published in 1997. These three reports are collected and reprinted in this volume in their entirety as originally published.

Space Strategy in the 21st Century by Eligar Sadeh Pdf

This book offers an overview of space strategy in the 21st century. The purpose of space strategy is to coordinate, integrate, and prioritize space activities across security, commercial, and civil sectors. Without strategy, space activities continue to provide value, but it becomes difficult to identify and execute long-term programs and projects and to optimize the use of space for security, economic, civil, and environmental ends. Strategy is essential for all these ends since dependence on, and use of, space is accelerating globally and space is integrated in the fabric of activities across all sectors and uses. This volume identifies a number of areas of concern pertinent to the development of national space strategy, including: intellectual foundations; political challenges; international cooperation and space governance; space assurance and political, organizational, and management aspects specific to security space strategy. The contributing authors expand their focus beyond that of the United States, and explore and analyse the international developments and implications of national space strategies of Russia, China, Europe, Japan, India, Israel, and Brazil. This book will be of much interest to students of space power and politics, strategic studies, foreign policy and International Relations in general.

Escape to the Galaxies by Vidyasagar Mundroy Pdf

NOTHING IS SAFE ON EARTH; YOU NEED A BACKUP PLANET. YOU CAN NEVER FIND A PLANET LIKE EARTH; YOU CAN’T SEARCH FOREVER. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A PERFECT PLANET. Earth was once a beautiful planet with abundant natural resources. After making the planet uninhabitable, the humans escaped to Mars and to exoplanets in nearby galaxies. But, did they feel comfortable and safe on the new planets? After living happily on Mars for two millennia, who ever expected that Earth would haunt the human settlers on Mars once again? Halik, a young officer on planet Sulok in Triangulum, took the mantle of saving Mars from Earth. Before he could think about saving Mars, he had to learn a lot about Earth – why the humans left the planet, how they travelled across galaxies, how they made Mars and exoplanets liveable and the new species they encountered.
