   Игорь Волк, Владимир Томский. Сделано в России. - М.: «Миттель Пресс», 2009. - 223 с.: ил.
   Книга Героя Советского Союза, лётчика-космонавта СССР Игоря Волка и известного специалиста по системам спутниковой связи Владимира Томского посвящена нашим соотечественникам Сергею Королёву и Юрию Гагарину.
   Эра освоения человечеством космоса началась по московскому времени. Сотни коллективов учёных и инженеров за считаные годы сумели решить длинный перечень пионерских научных, инженерных и технологических задач и проблем. Работа по космическим проектам не только сделала Юрия Гагарина первым космонавтом, она буквально преобразила нашу страну, вывела её в мировые лидеры, сделала притягательной для множества людей из самых разных стран. Это было достижение всего человечества.
   Проблема освоения космоса рассматривается в книге с различных позиций - исторических, мировоззренческих, культурно-гуманитарных. По убеждению авторов, космонавтика стала во времена Гагарина и Королёва играть фундаментальную роль в развитии социума. И если мы сумеем сохранить и приумножить наследие наших великих соотечественников, можно на этой основе вывести нашу страну из кризиса, вернуть ей законное место в группе стран - лидеров человеческой цивилизации.

Radioisotope Power Systems:
An Imperative for Maintaining U.S. Leadership in Space Exploration

Spacecraft require electrical energy. This energy must be available in the outer reaches of the solar system where sunlight is very faint. It must be available through lunar nights that last for 14 days, through long periods of dark and cold at the higher latitudes on Mars, and in high-radiation fields such as those around Jupiter. Radioisotope power systems (RPSs) are the only available power source that can operate unconstrained in these environments for the long periods of time needed to accomplish many missions, and plutonium-238 (238Pu) is the only practical isotope for fueling them.

Plutonium-238 does not occur in nature. The committee does not believe that there is any additional 238Pu (or any operational 238Pu production facilities) available anywhere in the world.The total amount of 238Pu available for NASA is fixed, and essentially all of it is already dedicated to support several pending missions the Mars Science Laboratory, Discovery 12, the Outer Planets Flagship 1 (OPF 1), and (perhaps) a small number of additional missions with a very small demand for 238Pu. If the status quo persists, the United States will not be able to provide RPSs for any subsequent missions.

Assessment of Planetary Protection Requirements for Mars Sample Return Missions

Publication Year:2009

NASA maintains a planetary protection policy to avoid the forward biological contamination of other worlds by terrestrial organisms, and back biological contamination of Earth from the return of extraterrestrial materials by spaceflight missions. Forward-contamination issues related to Mars missions were addressed in a 2006 National Research Council (NRC) book, Preventing the Forward Contamination of Mars. However, it has been more than 10 years since back-contamination issues were last examined.

Driven by a renewed interest in Mars sample return missions, this book reviews, updates, and replaces the planetary protection conclusions and recommendations contained in the NRC's 1997 report Mars Sample Return: Issues and Recommendations. The specific issues addressed in this book include the following:
* The potential for living entities to be included in samples returned from Mars;
* Scientific investigations that should be conducted to reduce uncertainty in the above assessment;
* The potential for large-scale effects on Earth's environment by any returned entity released to the environment;
* Criteria for intentional sample release, taking note of current and anticipated regulatory frameworks; and
* The status of technological measures that could be taken on a mission to prevent the inadvertent release of a returned sample into Earth's biosphere.

Спасибо за ссылочку! Неожиданная новость. Я так понял, Валентин Витальевич со временем там весь дневник выложит.
Интересно, а много ли наших космонавтов собственные блоги ведут?

[vjick]

А что за книга "Мое измерение"?

А это как раз его дневники, изданные отдельной книгой. На его блоге в ссылке на железняковский сайт даже ее обложка есть
http://www.cosmoworld.ru/spacehistory/astronauts/lebedev.html
Она вышла в 1994 году, кажется, в "Науке".

Description
Numerous countries and regions now have very active space programs, and the number is increasing. These maturing capabilities around the world create a plethora of potential partners for cooperative space endeavors, while at the same time heightening competitiveness in the international space arena.

This book summarizes a public workshop held in November 2008 for the purpose of reviewing past and present cooperation, coordination, and competition mechanisms for space and Earth science research and space exploration; identifying significant lessons learned; and discussing how those lessons could best be applied in the future, particularly in the areas of cooperation and collaboration.

Presentations and initial discussion focused on past and present experiences in international cooperation and competition to identify "lessons learned." Those lessons learned were then used as the starting point for subsequent discussions on the most effective ways for structuring future cooperation or coordination in space and Earth science research and space exploration. The goal of the workshop was not to develop a specific model for future cooperation or coordination, but rather to explore the advantages and disadvantages of various approaches and stimulate further deliberation on this important topic.

Is Quantum Mechanics Tried, True, Wildly Successful, and Wrong?
Tim Folger*

Antony Valentini, a theoretical physicist at Imperial College London and the co-author of a forthcoming book on the early history of quantum mechanics, believes that shortly after the theory's birth some 80 years ago, a cadre of influential scientists led quantum physics down a philosophical blind alley. As a result of that wrong turn, Valentini says, the field wound up burdened with paradoxical dualities, inexplicable long-distance connections between particles, and a pragmatic "shut up and calculate" mentality that stifled attempts to probe what it all means. But there is an alternative, Valentini says: a long-abandoned "road not taken" that could get physics back on track. And unlike other proposed remedies to quantum weirdness, he adds, there's a possible experiment to test whether this one is right.

Tourists in Space: A Practical Guide

 Erik Seedhouse "Tourists in Space: A Practical Guide"
Springer Praxis, March 2008 | ISBN: 0387746439 | PDF Format, 347 pages | English | 8 MB


Recent surveys have provided new and updated information into public insights of the nascent space tourism industry. Erik Seedhouse uniquely explores in detail the cutting-edge technologies, spacecraft capabilities, launch vehicles and the training that will define this commercial enterprise and also provides a manual for future suborbital and orbital private space explorers. This overview of the space tourism market is based upon choices the spaceflight participant must make, such as choice of agency, mode and spaceport. A detailed explanation is given of the medical requirements for spaceflight participants, with special reference to potential waiver criteria. Over half of the book is a comprehensive astronaut training/instructional manual that addresses each of the 15 subjects required for suborbital and orbital flight. A DVD with instructional lectures in the form of powerpoint slides might be included.
Following an Introduction examining the commercial potential for space tourism, Section 1 covers Suborbital Flight. Chapter 1 opens with a description and analysis of the significance of SpaceShipOne. Chapter 2 gives the Suborbital frontrunner profiles, mission architectures and technical aspects from launch to landing while the following chapter details the training and medical requirements for space tourists. Section 2 covers the same aspects for Orbital Flight, including a civilian astronaut training manual, enabling technologies, capabilities and personnel. A description is given of the anticipated on-orbit phases that will introduce the potential spaceflight participant or reader to the capsule, rendezvous, medical support, mission events and de-orbit phase. Section 3 gives a detailed assessment of the future of space tourism based on current technologies, commercial applications, military use and Lunar and Mars missions. Countries without space programs are also included.
Erik Seedhouse provides a much needed, well-rounded understanding of what promises to be the most dynamic, multi-faceted and exciting industry in the world. He shows how seemingly innocuous players are disproving long held beliefs about what can be achieved in space despite the inherent complexities, and why this industry may soon define the new norm in space travel.

America's Future in Space: Aligning the Civil Space Program with National Needs

ISBN-10: 0-309-14036-6
PDF Download 1.8 Mb
2009 - 126 pages.



The U.S. civil space program should be aligned with widely acknowledged national challenges, says a new report from the National Research Council.  Aligning the program with pressing issues - environmental, economic, and strategic - is a national imperative, and will continue to grow in importance.  Coordination across federal agencies, combined with a competent technical work force, effective infrastructure, and investment in technology and innovation, would lay the foundation for a purposeful, strategic U.S. space program that would serve national interests.

In aligning civil space activities with national objectives, several priorities are clear, the report says.  Earth stewardship should be an important focus of future space activities, with NASA and NOAA leading the formation of an international satellite-observing system to monitor global climate change.  In addition, NASA should cooperate with other agencies and international partners to continue scientific exploration in space, seeking knowledge of the universe and searching for life beyond Earth.  The report also recommends revitalizing NASA's advanced technology development program by establishing a DARPA-like organization within NASA to support priority civil and commercial space programs, and development of "dual-use" space technologies, with both civil and defense applications.

International cooperation on space activities should allow the U.S. to exercise global strategic leadership, support U.S. foreign policy, and expand partnerships in science and space exploration, the report says.  NASA should also be actively pursuing human spaceflight, including missions beyond low-Earth orbit, and should use these ventures as an opportunity to collaborate with emerging economic powers.

The task of ensuring that U.S. space activities are aligned with national goals should be assigned by the president to senior executive-branch officials who can coordinate agencies and departments, identify gaps in policy coverage or resource allocation, and spot new opportunities where space endeavors may have the potential to help confront critical issues facing the nation.

The study was sponsored by the National Academies, which comprise the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, Institute of Medicine, and National Research Council.  They are private, nonprofit institutions that provide science, technology, and health policy advice under a congressional charter.  The Research Council is the principal operating agency of the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering.
