In this autobiography, Gerhard Haerendel, former director at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics, describes his 60 adventurous years in space research. The narrative of exciting eventscovering 40 years of rocket and satellite workis underpinned with accessible accounts of the actual physical phenomena and processes involved. The reader also learns about how the goals set by a visionary astrophysicist eventually led to one of Germany's first major contributions to space research by the creation of artificial comets in the solar wind. Haerendel's efforts also led to two further satellite programs, one in partnership with Sweden, focusing on the aurora borealis, the other, a national German endeavor, to explore the outer border of the magnetosphere. A further interesting chapter concerns his engagement in the evaluation and restructuring of eastern German Academy institutes after reunification. All readers interested in space research and its history will enjoy sharing the fascinating experiences and dramatic events that accompany the story throughout, even some spectacular failures relating to rocket campaigns. 001450276 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001450276 60010 $$aHaerendel, Gerhard$$1https://isni.org/isni/0000000384298221 001450276 61020 $$aMax-Planck-Institut für Extraterrestrische Physik$$1https://isni.org/isni/0000000110192104 001450276 650_0 $$aAstrophysicists$$zGermany$$vBiography. 001450276 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001450276 655_7 $$aBiographies.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01919896 001450276 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aHAERENDEL, GERHARD.$$tMY LIFE IN SPACE EXPLORATION.$$d[Place of publication not identified] : SPRINGER, 2022$$z3031102851$$w(OCoLC)1322811440 001450276 830_0 $$aSpringer biographies. 001450276 852__ $$bebk 001450276 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-10286-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001450276 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1450276$$pGLOBAL_SET 001450276 980__ $$aBIB 001450276 980__ $$aEBOOK 001450276 982__ $$aEbook 001450276 983__ $$aOnline 001450276 994__ $$a92$$bISE
