Download Crisis at Low Earth Orbit: Sabotage of the International Space Station Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The historic all-cosmonaut spacewalk had just completed. The crew of the international space station was reconfiguring its systems for routine flight. They felt the customary ignition of the thruster engines to correct for changes in the station's low Earth orbit during the eight-hour spacewalk. This time, they felt the engines ignite two more times in just six minutes. The scientists at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston and operators at US Space Force's Space Operations Center at Vandenburg, were reporting orbital changes for thousands of space objects. Some changes were causing orbital intersections threatening both objects involved. For the space station, such a collision would result in loss of lives. Whatever this problem was, it established a Crisis at Low Earth Orbit. Time was scarce as NASA and the USSF began emergency coordination with its top technologists to find the problem and save the space station and its crew. They looked to Dr. Doug Dugan to lead the isolation and repair efforts quickly. Dugan had exceptional expertise in all the systems and agencies involved in this crisis. He had solved major defense system problems before; could he solve this Crisis at Low Earth Orbit in time? Dr. Dave Felsburg, having completed his six-textbook series on outreach, evangelism, and church growth, offers his third novel from the technical side of his forty-year bivocational career. The doctor holds engineering degrees at the bachelor's and master's levels, a diploma and four years of post-graduate seminary work, and a PhD in organizational behavior and management. His secular work was in design, development and deployment of missile warning, space surveillance and atmospheric defense sensors and command and control systems for the US Government. His career traversed civilian and military Government service, executive management, and entrepreneurial leadership of four companies he founded. He lives with his wife, Isabel in central Florida.

From two New York Times–bestselling authors, a group of talented young people heads to the International Space Station for a new mission: saving Earth from invasion . . . Now that JJ Wren, her brother Dylan, and friends King and Song-Ye have seen Earth’s dark future—facing an invasion by the hideous alien Kylarn—they know they have to prepare the human race. At the local Challenger Center, the mysterious Commander Zota sends JJ and her friends off on another mission, this time to the International Space Station Complex, where they meet old friends, survivors from the disaster at Moonbase Magellan, as well as a mysterious girl, Mira, who claims to be from the past. Another Star Challenger with her own mentor, just like Commander Zota. Together, they have to discover and stop the continuing plans of the alien invaders. And the Kylarn have set their sights on conquering, or destroying, the space station, so that Earth has no protection at all! “The Star Challengers books inspire young readers with [a] sense of adventure, introducing them to a universe of exciting possibilities.” —Buzz Aldrin “[There’s] never a dull moment in these fast-paced books . . .

The historic quest to rekindle the human exploration and colonization of space led by two rivals and their vast fortunes, egos, and visions of space as the next entrepreneurial frontier The Space Barons is the story of a group of billionaire entrepreneurs who are pouring their fortunes into the epic resurrection of the American space program. Nearly a half-century after Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, these Space Barons-most notably Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, along with Richard Branson and Paul Allen-are using Silicon Valley-style innovation to dramatically lower the cost of space travel, and send humans even further than NASA has gone. These entrepreneurs have founded some of the biggest brands in the world-Amazon, Microsoft, Virgin, Tesla, PayPal-and upended industry after industry. Now they are pursuing the biggest disruption of all: space. Based on years of reporting and exclusive interviews with all four billionaires, this authoritative account is a dramatic tale of risk and high adventure, the birth of a new Space Age, fueled by some of the world's richest men as they struggle to end governments' monopoly on the cosmos. The Space Barons is also a story of rivalry-hard-charging startups warring with established contractors, and the personal clashes of the leaders of this new space movement, particularly Musk and Bezos, as they aim for the moon and Mars and beyond.

Space is dangerous. Life in space unbearably fragile. Blasting across it in a rocket is daring enough, but to really claim it, to tame it, you have to stay there, to live in it. Only a few have tried, in every case their courage beyond question. Because in space even a fleck of paint can be deadly. Spacewalking outside the Mir station, though seemingly tranquil, is in effect walking at 18000 miles per hour. That one fleck of paint has the destructive power of a dum-dum bullet.

Space junk crashing into Earth is a real and escalating danger. Milne provides the first synthesis of the interdisciplinary work of the scientific community, which has been investigating how the satellite industry can be protected from manmade and natural space hazards. The result is an invaluable book for those concerned with space missions and space disasters, those worried about cosmic radiation and its effects on humans, members of the Spaceguard defense movement, and anyone concerned with defense and international cooperation efforts in general. Tens of millions of objects may exist in space, ranging in size from grains of sand to entire rocket boosters. Many fireballs seen in the skies, often thought to be UFOs, are in fact manmade debris. Plutonium and other highly toxic fuels from failed Russian craft have already contaminated inhabited areas of Central Asia. Natural hazards such as comet particles can travel at 100 times the speed of a bullet and can severely damage satellites. There is also the danger of spaceweather effects, such as cosmic rays, that could interfere with a spacecraft's electronics and interrupt the global transmission of telephones and television.
