Space Stations: Systems and Utilization Hardcover - 1999
by Ernst Messerschmid; T. Freyer (Translator); Reinhold Bertrand
Construction has begun on the International Space Station (ISS)--the largest and most complex extraterrestrial construction project ever. This book on space stations, and the ISS in particular, describes component technologies, systems integration, and the potential utilization of these stations. Co-authored by Messerschmid, one of the first German astronauts, it addresses students and engineers in space technology, but will interest astronomy and space enthusiasts as well. 318 illustrations.
First line
The idea of a space station, i.e. a permanently habitable orbital structure, has existed since the very early ideas of spaceflight itself were conceived.
From the rear cover
The design of space stations like the recently launched ISS is a highly complex and interdisciplinary task. This book describes component technologies, system integration, and the potential usage of space stations in general and of the ISS in particular. It so adresses students and engineers in space technology. Ernst Messerschmid holds the chair of space systems at the University of Stuttgart and was one of the first German astronauts.
