Sinopsis

The tragedy of the space shuttle Columbia in 2003 has led many to question if looking to the stars to secure humanity's dreams for the future is safe or realistic. Still, many regard space technology and its uses as ever more fascinating, relevant and complex. "The Facts on File Dictionary of Space Technology" defines the basic terms and phrases that are used in the science of space, space flight and space technology. This volume is key to understanding everything tied to space, from basic physics to complex technical matters to the wonders of the cosmos. A comprehensive reference with concise definitions, it illustrates recent advances and makes accessible nearly every word, concept and event relating to this branch of science. The dictionary contains more than 1500 entries that guide laypersons and professionals alike through humankind's activities in space, the beginnings of our extraterrestrial society and the increasingly important role of space science in everyday life. Coverage includes: science basics and fundamentals; historic events; defence and the armed forces; and planetary sciences.
