This book provides an introduction to its mechanics. The beauty of this book written by an engineer who is also an accomplished science writer is that it covers the subject comprehensively and yet is almost entirely descriptive and non - mathematical. It deals with all aspects of space flight from how to leave the Earth (including the design of the rocket mission planning navigation and communication) to life in space and the effects of weightlessness. The book also includes sections describing how an amateur can track satellites and understand their orbital parameters.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: It's Only Rocket Science An Introduction In Plain English\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Rogers Lucy\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Springer - Verlag New York Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780387753775\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 350 Pages, 35 Illustrations, Color; 35 Illustrations, Black And White; Xiv, 350 P. 70 Illus., 35 Ill\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 3\/21\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\nSeries: Astronomers' Universe\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Astronautics","brand":"Rogers Lucy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49595179958577,"sku":"IN-G-9780387753775","price":36.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9780387753775.jpg?v=1753236941","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780387753775-its-only-rocket-science-an-introduction-in-plain-english","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
