This book explains over 1,500 terms of the Space Shuttle Era, describing not only the space transportation system but also those space exploitation activities,such as space stations…and space industrialization projects, which form man's major technological pathway into the 21st century. Here is the one source necessary to understand the technology that not only has excited our imaginations, but also is playing an increasingly important part of our lives. This book includes entries on all phases of modern space technology from the Space Shuttle to the search for extra-solar planets, from the Space Operations Center to the Getaway S[ecial. Each entry explains a technique, concept, project, etc., in a direct conversational style that is understandable to the layman and student yet useful to the scientist and engineer. The over 150 illustrations, many from NASA's latest missions, help explain the more technical entries and offer the reader a look at the exciting world of the future. Illustrated. 380 pp.
