McLean, VA: The MITRE Corporation, 2003. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. iv, 128, [4], wraps, illus. (some in color), diagrams, references. Among the contributors were: Paul Dimotakis, Freeman Dyson, Dick Garwin, and Steve Koonin. This is a JASON study, JSR-02-135. Approved for public release, distribution unlimited. The JASONs focused primarily on fuel cells for portable electrical energy production. Fuel cell technologies that were evaluated included high temperature fuel cells such as solid oxide fuel cells and molten carbonate fuel cells, and low/mid temperature (80-200 C) fuel cells using phosphoric acid fuel cells, alkaline fuel cells, and polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells. In addition, direct methanol fuel cells were evaluated. More

NASA SP-4015. Sponsored by the NASA Historical Office. Astronautics (or cosmonautics) is the theory and practice of navigation beyond Earth's atmosphere. The term astronautics was coined in the 1920s by J.-H. Rosny, president of the Goncourt academy, in analogy with aeronautics. Because there is a degree of technical overlap between the two fields, the term aerospace is often used to describe both at once. In 1930, Robert Esnault-Pelterie published the first book on the new research field. As with aeronautics, the restrictions of mass, temperatures, and external forces require that applications in space survive extreme conditions: high-grade vacuum, the radiation bombardment of interplanetary space and the magnetic belts of low Earth orbit. Space launch vehicles must withstand titanic forces, while satellites can experience huge variations in temperature in very brief periods. Extreme constraints on mass cause astronautical engineers to face the constant need to save mass in the design in order to maximize the actual payload that reaches orbit. More

NASA’s twelfth annual chronology of events in astronautics and aeronautics reflects a U.S. space program redefined to be less costly and perhaps less spectacular in the 1970s than in the previous decade-yet this volume records a continued and indeed matured response to the challenges of space, both in scientific exploration and in practical uses. The year 1972 closed with the triumphant end of the Apollo program. More

Charles Augustus Lindbergh (February 4, 1902 – August 26, 1974), nicknamed Slim, Lucky Lindy, and The Lone Eagle, was an American aviator, author, inventor, military officer, explorer, and social activist. In 1927, at the age of 25, Lindbergh emerged from virtual obscurity as a U.S. Air Mail pilot to instantaneous world fame as the result of his Orteig Prize-winning solo nonstop flight from Roosevelt Field on Long Island, New York, to Le Bourget Field in Paris, France. He flew the distance of nearly 3,600 statute miles (5,800 km) in a single-seat, single-engine, purpose-built Ryan monoplane, Spirit of St. Louis. Lindbergh was the 19th person to make a Transatlantic flight, the first being the Transatlantic flight of Alcock and Brown from Newfoundland in 1919, but Lindbergh's flight was almost twice the distance. The record-setting flight took 33 1 2 hours. Lindbergh, a U.S. Army Air Corps Reserve officer, was awarded the nation's highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his historic exploit. I In his later years, Lindbergh became a prolific prize-winning author, international explorer, inventor, and environmentalist. More
San Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass Publishers, 1994. First Edition. First Printing. Hardcover. 294 pages. Illus., references, index. Name of previous owner present, DJ somewhat worn and soiled, corners of several pages creased. All organizations are struggling to meet the tough new competitive standards of the 1990s--speed, convenience, efficiency, increased productivity--in order to become more competitive, flexible, and profitable. Re-engineering--the radical redesign of entire systems, beyond innovations such as total quality management--is a concept that is revitalizing many organizations. In this book, Russell M. Linden shows how to apply re-engineering principles to all levels of government, creating organizations focused on serving their customers, the public. More

McCurdy is considered an expert on space policy and NASA. In 1998, he was selected to be the Charles A. Lindbergh Chair in Aerospace History, a fellowship at the National Air and Space Museum. McCurdy received his bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Washington and his Ph.D. from Cornell University. Elizabeth Hand reviewed McCurdy's history of the U.S. space program: "In Space and the American Imagination, Howard McCurdy doesn't give us the right stuff but the real stuff, the ... policy debate and political razzing that brought the space program into being..... McCurdy's ... book assembles a fascinating congeries of facts and fictions about trips to the moon, real or imagined. More
