Beschreibung

In Disasters and Accidents in Manned Spaceflight, David Shayler examines the challenges that face all crews as they prepare and execute their missions. The book covers all aspects that make up spaceflight by a human crew - training, launch to space, survival in space and return from space - followed by a series of case histories which tell of the major incidents in each of those categories over the past 40 years. The sixth section looks at the International Space Station and how it is planned, to try and prevent, as far as possible, major incidents occuring during the lifetime of the space station, and at the difficulties facing a settlement on the Moon or Mars during the next 40 years.

Zusammenfassung

The first detailed examination of major space accidents in 40 years of space flight history

Based on information obtained from personal interviews with astronauts and cosmonauts, research from NASA archives and unpublished Russian data. (Since Glasnost in the mid '80s and the collapse of the former Soviet Union in 1991, access to archives of Soviet Space history has revealed new details of accidents and disasters from the early years of the Soviet space programme)
