Simon & Schuster : New York, 2000. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Designs on Space - Blueprints for 21st Century Space Exploration, by Richard Wagner, Published by Simon & Schuster, New York 2000, ISBN#: 068485676X, Hard bound, New/Mint condition (light black marker line along some side page edges). This is a “current” book about the “real” future of future space exploration. In this book of near-term space exploration Richard Wagner, former editor of Ad Astra and coauthor of The Case for Mars, and designer Howard Cook "serve up a ragout" of intriguing space missions that illustrate "the art of discovery and the craft of exploration" that lie at the heart of humanity's drive into space. Their descriptions of our next steps into the high frontier range from the on-orbit operations of the International Space Station to scientific exploration at the farthest reaches of our solar system. They describe and detail the contraptions, gizmos, gadgets, and contrivances that will serve as our homes in near space and our senses in the distant reaches of space. Along the way, they offer previews of a new generation of launch vehicles whose aim is to open space to paying passengers; of spacecraft bound for comets, asteroids, Mars, and beyond that will continue our wanderings through our solar neighborhood; and of the instruments that will carry on our ongoing, ever-intriguing search for life beyond Earth." "Presenting each mission's rationale and the engineering that goes into solving the problems mission designers face, Designs on Space provides a remarkable and mesmerizing sneak preview of space voyages in the twenty-first century.The table of contents contains the following major headings: At home in the sky (Getting there, Building blocks, Powering up, Helping hands, Orbital threads, Going to work, Living the high life, ISS assembly timeline); Rockets for the rest of us (X-33/Venture star, Roton, Pathfinder, Deep space 1, The X prize, Space tourism); Red planet redux (Mars surveyor 2001, Mars express, Mars aerial vehicles, Mars sample return, Humans to Mars); Heavenly prospects (Stardust, Near Earth asteroid prospector, Muses-C, Contour, Rosetta); Destinations (The sun, The moon, Saturn, Pluto); Anybody home?
