Carbon-Carbon Materials and Composites
Carbon-carbon composites, which have been used extensively for missile
applications, were a part of NASA's Apollo spacecraft heat shield system. The
development of carbon-carbon materials began in 1958 and was nurtured under
the U.S. Air Force space plane program, Dyna-Soar, and by numerous thermal
protection systems... | | Securing LINUX Step by StepThis guide is intended for the novice home user and the experienced systems administrator alike. It covers the installation and operation of Linux in two basic modes of operation: as a workstation and as a server. It does not cover configuring Linux for some of the other special-purpose functions that it performs so well, such as routers,... | | Real Time UML: Advances in the UML for Real-Time Systems (3rd Edition)The increasing complexity of embedded and real-time systems requires a more premeditated and sophisticated design approach for successful implementation. The object-based Unified Modeling Language (UML) can describe the structural and behavioral aspects critical to real-time systems and has come to the fore as an outstanding medium for effective... |

Safety Design for Space SystemsProgress in space safety lies in the acceptance of safety design and engineering as an integral part of the design and implementation process for new space systems. Safety must be seen as the principle design driver of utmost importance from the outset of the design process, which is only achieved through a culture change that moves all... | | | | Spacecraft Power SystemsThe first man-made satellite was Sputnik I, launched and operated by Russia in the low Earth orbit in 1957. In the decade that followed, the American space exploration programs launched many Earth orbiting satellites. The first commercial geosynchronous satellite, Intelsat-1, was placed in orbit in 1965, and, in 1969, NASA’s Apollo-11 became... |
