Rapp, Donald
Human Missions to Mars

Enabling Technologies for Exploring the Red Planet. Published in association with Praxis Piblishing.

In this book, Donald Rapp looks at human missions to Mars from a technological perspective. He divides the mission into a number of stages (Earth’s surface to low-Earth orbit (LEO); departing from LEO toward Mars; Mars orbit insertion and entry, descent and landing; ascent from Mars; trans-Earth injection from Mars orbit and Earth return). This third edition provides extensive updating and additions to the last edition, including new sections, and many new figures and tables, and references. Third Edition. 622 Seiten mit 99 Farb- und 130 s/w-Abb., gebunden (Springer Praxis Books. Astronautical Engineering/Springer-Verlag 2023)
