Space shuttle Discovery is about o dock at the first permanent U. S. space station, which author Dick Lattimer called Friendship. In all but name, the space station depicted in these pages is based on NASA plans.\u003cbr\u003eTo help you project yourself on board, Lattimer has created a fictional crew, including three rookie crew members—doctoral candidates who have been chosen to do special work on their theses. By viewing the space station through their eyes, you’ll learn about the important work to be done there. \u003cbr\u003eFriendship reflects existing technology and projected plans. As part of his extensive research, Lattimer, along with his son, illustrator Michael Lattimer, had the unique opportunity to spend several different days aboard the space station mockup at Huntsville, Alabama.\u003cbr\u003eInevitably, there will be design modification. But life aboard out first permanent space station will probably resemble life on space station Friendship. \u003cbr\u003eIn these pages you’ll visit the many elements of the space station, including the habitation modules, the animal research facility, and the “industrial park.” You’ll learn about the modules of the European Space Agency and of Japan, and about the mobile servicing station, the next-generation Canadarm.\u003cbr\u003eAs the staff membered discuss their work with the “rookies,” you’ll find the answers to their questions like these:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow will they handle emergencies?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow will they get supplies?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat kinds of R7D work will they do?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow will they use the Hubble Telescope?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eHow will they cope with isolation and confinement?","brand":"Stackpole Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47290418462975,"sku":"9780811736992","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_2043ca13-2070-480e-a1c9-30185fb472dc.jpg?v=1758471564","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780811736992","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
