This second edition emphasizes SpaceX's much-hyped manned mission to the Red Planet. With a plethora of new material gathered from 2013 to the present, the text offers the most up-to-date portrait of the maverick band of scientists and engineers producing some of the most spectacular aviation triumphs of the 21st century. Topics covered in this book include: all CRS flights, the challenges of developing retro-propulsion, and the pathway towards realizing the Falcon Heavy and BFR. In addition, the chapters describe SpaceX's emphasis on simplicity, low-cost, and reliability, and the methods the company employs to reduce its costs while speeding up decision-making and delivery. Detailing the Falcon 1, Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launch vehicles, the book shows how SpaceX is able to offer a full spectrum of light, medium, and heavy lift launch capabilities to its customers and how it is able to deliver spacecraft into any inclination and altitude, from low Earth orbit to geosynchronous orbit to planetary missions. This book is the perfect go-to guide on SpaceX for anybody working or interested in the commercial space arena."--$$cProvided by publisher 001446673 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed May 19, 2022). 001446673 61020 $$aSpaceX (Firm) 001446673 650_0 $$aSpace launch industry. 001446673 650_0 $$aLaunch vehicles (Astronautics) 001446673 650_0 $$aSpace flight. 001446673 650_0 $$aInterplanetary voyages. 001446673 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001446673 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030991806$$z9783030991807$$w(OCoLC)1302578408 001446673 830_0 $$aSpringer-Praxis books in space exploration. 001446673 852__ $$bebk 001446673 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-99181-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001446673 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1446673$$pGLOBAL_SET 001446673 980__ $$aBIB 001446673 980__ $$aEBOOK 001446673 982__ $$aEbook 001446673 983__ $$aOnline 001446673 994__ $$a92$$bISE
