Taming Liquid Hydrogen
Centaur's light, stainless-steel tank had split open, spilling its liquid-hyd rogen fuel down its sides, where the flame of the rocket exhaust immediately ignited it. Coming less than a year after President Kennedy had made landing human beings on the Moon a national priority, the loss of Centaur was re g a rded as a serious setback for the National Ae ronautics and Space Administration (NASA). During the failure investigation, Homer Newell, Di rector of Space Sciences, ruefully declared: "Taming liquid hyd rogen to the point where expensive operational space missions can be committed to it has turned out to be more difficult than anyone supposed at the outset."1 After this failure, Centaur ...
First Moon Mission of United Launch Alliance's Vulcan Centaur Rocket
First Moon Mission of United Launch Alliance's Vulcan Centaur Rocket Vulcan Centaur is the most powerful rocket built by United Launch Alliance (ULA), representing the cutting edge of US launch vehicle technology. In this gripping tale, we journey behind the scenes to witness the Herculean effort to develop this advanced rocket against all odds. Beginning with an overview of Vulcan's ambitious capabilities, the book delves into ULA's urgent drive to replace Russian-made engines in their rockets amidst rising geopolitical tensions-a vulnerability SpaceX exploited as they raced to dominate market share. Outmatched, ULA fought back by forging ahead with plans to build Vulcan, blending Atlas V a...
Taming Liquid Hydrogen
During its maiden voyage in May 1962, a Centaur upper stage rocket, mated to an Atlas booster, exploded 54 seconds after launch, engulfing the rocket in a huge fireball. Investigation revealed that Centaur's light, stainless-steel tank had split open, spilling its liquid-hydrogen fuel down its sides, where the flame of the rocket exhaust immediately ignited it. Coming less than a year after President Kennedy had made landing human beings on the Moon a national priority, the loss of Centaur was regarded as a serious setback for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). During the failure investigation, Homer Newell, Director of Space Sciences, ruefully declared: "Taming liquid...
Atlas-Centaur 7
This book is a compilation of reprints of National Aeronautics Air and Space Administration (NASA) publications relating to the launch vehicle Atlas-Centaur 7 and its payload, Surveyor 2. It includes the Flight Report for Atlas-Centaur 7 (AC-7) and the prelaunch Press Kit for Surveyor II. Atlas-Centaur 7 is the 7th volume of the series "America's Finest Rockets" (TM). Each volume focuses on a specific rocket and its payload, and reprints volumes of information about both.

The Chemistry and Technology of Solid Rocket Propellants (A Treatise on Solid Propellants)
The book is a treatise on solid propellants in nine chapters, covering the history, chemistry, energetics, processing and characterization aspects of composite solid propellants, internal ballistics, advanced solid propellants, safety, quality and reliability and homogenous or double base propellants. The book also traces the evolution of solid propellant technology in ISRO for launch vehicles and sounding rockets. There is a detailed table of contents, expanded index, glossary, exhaustive references and questions in each chapter. It can be used as a textbook for science and engineering students, as a reference book for researchers and as a companion to scientists and engineers working in the research, development and production areas of solid propellants.
