商品描述
This book describes eight spacecraft that among them explored the outer planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and the dwarf planet Pluto. The descriptions include intricacies and technical detail of spacecraft systems and science instruments aboard each spacecraft. The book traces history of exploration of the outer planets as well as the evolution of sophisticated spacecraft that unveiled long-sought secrets of the far-distant planets. The ingenious spacecraft reflected the best efforts of talented people working with best available technology of the day. Workarounds devised to achieve success after a critical spacecraft failure was testament to human ingenuity and perseverance. The key results of exploration by each spacecraft are given, including many spectacular photographs. The book is a follow-on to my book "Spacecraft that Explored the Inner Planets: Venus and Mercury" that was published by Springer in 2023.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書描述了八艘太空船，它們共同探索了外行星木星、土星、天王星、海王星以及矮行星冥王星。這些描述包括每艘太空船上太空船系統和科學儀器的複雜性和技術細節。本書追溯了外行星探索的歷史，以及揭示遙遠行星長久以來所尋求的秘密的先進太空船的演變。這些巧妙的太空船反映了才華橫溢的人們在當時最佳可用技術下的努力。為了在關鍵的太空船故障後取得成功而設計的替代方案證明了人類的智慧和毅力。每艘太空船探索的關鍵結果都被列出，包括許多壯觀的照片。
本書是我於2023年由Springer出版的書籍《探索內行星的太空船：金星和水星》的後續作品。
作者簡介
The author draws on over 50 years' experience on aircraft and spacecraft systems to tell the story of these planetary spacecraft. He was technical lead for the landing radars for the Surveyor and Apollo lunar landers and he performed analysis and system design for the radars for the Viking spacecraft and the Space Shuttle. He was Technical Director at the Teledyne Ryan Company and personally led efforts to establish new product lines in fiber optics, radar altimeters, and missile detection radars. At Litton Technologies, he was systems engineer for a new helmet mounted display for helicopter gunships. He served 3 years as Electronics Officer in the U.S. Navy. His working experience is augmented by master's degrees in electrical engineering, physics, and business administration.
