Spaceflight Life Support and Biospherics de P. Eckart

Spaceflight Life Support and Biospherics: Space Technology Library, cartea 5

Autor P. Eckart
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 feb 1996
Spaceflight Life Support and Biospherics is the introduction to space life support systems and artificial ecosystems that has so far been lacking. It is a source of information for everyone involved in the life support system design and development process - engineers, scientists, and students - as well as all those who are simply interested in this existing discipline. The structure of this book is such that it gives step-by-step answers to the basic questions concerning life support systems on any scale - from small microbial systems to the Earth's biosphere:
  • Why life support system development and biosphere research?
  • How does our natural life support system, the biosphere, work?
  • What are the environmental conditions for life support systems in space?
  • What are the fundamental terms and requirements of life support?
  • Which physicochemical life support subsystems currently exist?
  • Which are the potential bioregenerative life support technologies of the future?
  • What are life support systems of future planetary habitats going to look like?
  • What are the experiences of the largest artificial ecosystem - Biosphere 2?
  • What are the potential terrestrial benefits of life support development? £/LIST£

    Recenzii

    ' ... may well become a standard textbook, for the pioneers of our first home beyond Earth.'
    Arthur C. Clarke, CBE, Colombo, Sri Lanka
    ' The book provides a very concise and pleasing summary of what is known and what is needed for the further development of life support systems.'
    Spaceflight, January 1995
    ' A book which should be on the desk of every scientist and engineer working on regenerative life support systems.'
    Dr Donald Henninger, NASA-Johnson Space Center
    ' ... remarkable book not only covers life support technology ... , but also serves as a primer on principles of ecology and the nature of the space environment. It serves both as a reference for professionals and as an introductory text for those new to the field.'
    Dr Wendell Mendell, NASA-Johnson Space Center
    ' I recommend it to all the future aerospace engineers and to the confirmed space engineers who want to be informed about the specific field of space engineering.'
    Dr Christian Tamponnet, ESA-ESTEC, Noordwijk
