It is based upon history, science and technology, and tells some interesting and fascinating stories along the way. It pays tribute to those killed while attempting to reach the stratosphere over the past several centuries. "Dutch" von Ehrenfried uses his personal experience as a NASA sensor operator on the RB-57F, flying to an altitude of 70,000 feet, as well as the input and experience from other RB-57F, U-2, A-12, SR-71 and F-104 pilots. Although many of the aircraft and balloons are described, more emphasis is placed on the crews and what they went through. This book is intended for aviators of all kinds and flying enthusiasts in general. 000697141 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed December 16, 2013). 000697141 650_0 $$aStratosphere. 000697141 650_0 $$aAeronautics$$xHistory. 000697141 650_0 $$aAstrophysics. 000697141 650_0 $$aAstronautics. 000697141 650_0 $$aEngineering. 000697141 830_0 $$aSpringer-Praxis books in space exploration. 000697141 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000697141 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-02901-6$$zOnline Access 000697141 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:697141$$pGLOBAL_SET 000697141 980__ $$aEBOOK 000697141 980__ $$aBIB 000697141 982__ $$aEbook 000697141 983__ $$aOnline 000697141 994__ $$a92$$bISE
