An Introduction to Mission Design for Geostationary Satellites
This book provides an introduction to the mission design of communication satellites. There are many excellent books on orbit mechanics and astrodynamics, but until now there has been no single work that explains the ins and outs of mission design, and explains why things are done the way they are done as well as how they are done. The book will be of interest not only to practising mission analysts, but also to spacecraft systems engineers, spacecraft project managers and to those who wish to employ the unique attributes of geosynchronous spacecraft for useful purposes. At last, an explanation of the ins and outs of mission design is offered in a clear and concise matter. The self-contained...
Gemini Flies!
In May 1961, President John F. Kennedy committed the United States to landing a man on the moon before the end of the decade. With just a handful of years to pull it off, NASA authorized the Project Gemini space program, which gathered vital knowledge needed to achieve the nation’s goal. This book introduces the crucial three-step test program employed by the Gemini system, covering: The short unmanned orbital flight of Gemini 1 that tested the compatibility of launch vehicle, spacecraft and ground systems. The unmanned suborbital flight of Gemini 2 to establish the integrity of the reentry system and protective heat shield. The three-orbit manned evaluation flight of Gemini 3, christened ...

NASA Spaceflight
This book presents the first comprehensive history of innovation at NASA, bringing together experts in the field to illuminate how public-private and international partnerships have fueled new ways of exploring space since the beginning of space travel itself. Twelve case studies trace the messy, risky history of such partnerships, exploring the role of AT&T in the early development of satellite technology, the connections between the Apollo program and Silicon Valley, the rise of SpaceX, and more. Some of these projects have succeeded, and some have failed; all have challenged conventional methods of doing the public’s business in space. Together, these essays offer new insights into how innovation happens, with invaluable lessons for policymakers, investors, economists, and members of the space community.
Oil and the World Economy
This paper, using a six-region DSGE model of the world economy, assesses the GDP and current account implications of permanent oil supply shocks hitting the world economy at an unspecified future date. For modest-sized shocks and conventional production technologies the effects are modest. But for larger shocks, for elasticities of substitution that decline as oil usage is reduced to a minimum, and for production functions in which oil acts as a critical enabler of technologies, GDP growth could drop significantly. Also, oil prices could become so high that smooth adjustment, as assumed in the model, may become very difficult.
The Tennis King Equation
The Tennis King Equation teaches an intense focus technique that creates the player's optimal perspective. The concept of "mind over matter = time over space" allows the player to escape the "event level". At the "composition level" of the game there is a quantum scale of recognition that exists only in "time". The Equation shows the player how to access this time dimension and generate the responses of "physical space". This is the ultimate tennis book - a lifetime of tennis lessons and will improve your game faster then you ever thought possible. The Tennis King Equation is 172 pages and loaded with illustrations. There are over 90 black and white, graphically definitive illustrations and costs less then a half of a 1/2 hour lesson with your neighbor tennis pro. If you believe tennis is a "mental game" and the physical play is a reflection of the state of mind. Then this book was written just for you. Want to talk tennis? Visit me at - www.TheTennisKing.com
