This book describes how to predict and forecast the state of planet Earth’s ionosphere under quiet and disturbed conditions in terms of dynamical processes in the weakly ionized plasma media of the upper atmosphere and their relation to available modern measurements and modelling techniques. It...

In order to compete in a modern global market, companies rely on mechatronics, or the fusion of several engineering and scientific disciplines from across mechanical, computer and electrical engineering in developing innovative products and systems. Mechatronics offers new solutions and unprecedented...

A mission to send humans to explore the surface of Mars has been the ultimate goal of planetary exploration since the 1950s, when von Braun conjectured a flotilla of 10 interplanetary vessels carrying a crew of at least 70 humans. Since then, more than 1,000 studies were carried...

This book uses the entire flying process, starting from ground launching of the orbital transfer vehicle (OTV) to injecting payload into earth synchronous orbit, as an example for real-world engineering practices. It discusses in detail the analysis design and integrated OTV navigation and guidance...

This compilation of articles provides a clear understanding of Remote Sensing, the amazing technology which is opening up new vistas for the mapping, management, and monitoring of our natural resources. Richly illustrated and easy to read, the book will be of interest to students, teachers, scientists and non-specialists.

The point of view of this book is human interest in the other worlds around us. It presents the latest discoveries among the planets of the solar system, and shows their bearing upon the question of life in those planets. It points out the resemblances and the differences between the earth and the...

This is the official history of an important NACA/NASA propulsion research facility located in Ohio, which began operations in 1952 and was demolished in 2009. By the late 1950s, Pratt & Whitney, Wright Aeronautical, and the U.S. Air Force began building their own propulsion labs and altitude...

On 14 July 2015, the New Horizons spacecraft passed through the system of the former ninth planet, Pluto. This book gives a preliminary overview of the results that had been obtained from data sent by New Horizons to Earth till spring 2016. Dr Rainer Riemann, astrophysicist of the University of Heidelberg, Germany, has added a preface to this volume.

This thesis sheds valuable new light on the second-order cosmological perturbation theory, extensively discussing it in the context of cosmic microwave background (CMB) fluctuations. It explores the observational consequences of the second-order vector mode, and addresses magnetic field generation...

This unique monograph by a noted UCLA professor examines in detail the mathematics of Kerr black holes, which possess the properties of mass and angular momentum but carry no electrical charge. Suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students of mathematics, physics, and astronomy as well...

Author Jared William Carter (jw) takes writes a review on the Future of the Mind.  

This work presents a study of methods useful for modeling and understanding dynamical systems in the Galaxy. A natural coordinate system for the study of dynamical systems is the angle-action coordinate system. New methods for the approximation of the action-angle variables in general potentials...

This recently released audit report of the NASA Office of Inspector General provides unique information about NASA's efforts to identify Near-Earth Objects (NEOs). NASA has organized its NEO Program under a single Program Executive who manages a loosely structured conglomerate of research activities...
