Since then, more than 1,000 studies were carried out on human missions to Mars, but after 60 years of study, we remain in the early planning stages. The second edition of this book now includes an annotated history of Mars mission studies, with quantitative data wherever possible. Retained from the first edition, Donald Rapp looks at human missions to Mars from an engineering 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. For each segment, he analyzes requirements for candidate technologies. In this connection, he discusses the status and potential of a wide range of elements critical to a human Mars mission, including life support consumables, radiation effects and shielding, microgravity effects, abort options and mission safety, possible habitats on the Martian surface and aero-assisted orbit entry decent and landing. For any human mission to the Red Planet the possible utilization of any resources indigenous to Mars would be of great value and such possibilities, the use of indigenous resources is discussed at length. He also discusses the relationship of lunar exploratio n to Mars exploration. Detailed appendices describe the availability of solar energy on the Moon and Mars, and the potential for utilizing indigenous water on Mars. The second edition provides extensive updating and additions to the first edition, including many new figures and tables, and more than 70 new references, as of 2015. 000752328 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed November 5, 2015). 000752328 650_0 $$aAstronautics. 000752328 651_0 $$aMars (Planet)$$xExploration. 000752328 651_0 $$aOuter space$$xExploration. 000752328 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783319222486 000752328 830_0 $$aSpringer-Praxis books in astronautical engineering. 000752328 852__ $$bebk 000752328 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-22249-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000752328 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:752328$$pGLOBAL_SET 000752328 980__ $$aEBOOK 000752328 980__ $$aBIB 000752328 982__ $$aEbook 000752328 983__ $$aOnline 000752328 994__ $$a92$$bISE
