| Zusammenfassung: | Although the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, has become synonymous with the United States' planetary exploration during the past half century, its most recent focus has been on Mars. Beginning in the 1990s and continuing through the Mars Phoenix mission of 2007, JPL led the way in engineering an impressive, rapidly evolving succession of Mars orbiters and landers, including roving robotic vehicles whose successful deployment onto the Martian surface posed some of the most complicated technical problems in space flight history. In Exploration and Engineering, Erik M. Conway reveals how JPL engineers' creative technological feats led to major Mars exploration breakthroughs. He takes readers into the heart of the lab's problem-solving approach and management structure, where talented scientists grappled with technical challenges while also coping, not always successfully, with funding shortfalls, unrealistic schedules, and managerial turmoil. Conway, JPL's historian, offers an insider's perspective into the changing goals of Mars exploration, the ways in which sophisticated computer simulations drove the design process, and the remarkable evolution of landing technologies over a thirty-year period. |

Beginning in the 1990s and continuing through the Mars Phoenix mission of 2007, JPL led the way in engineering an impressive, rapidly evolving succession of Mars orbiters and landers, including roving robotic vehicles whose successful deployment onto the Martian surface posed some of the most complicated technical problems in space flight history. In Exploration and Engineering, Erik M. Conway reveals how JPL engineers' creative technological feats led to major Mars exploration breakthroughs. He takes readers into the heart of the lab's problem-solving approach and management structure, where talented scientists grappled with technical challenges while also coping, not always successfully, with funding shortfalls, unrealistic schedules, and managerial turmoil. Conway, JPL's historian, offers an insider's perspective into the changing goals of Mars exploration, the ways in which sophisticated computer simulations drove the design process, and the remarkable evolution of landing technologies over a thirty-year period.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="610" ind1="2" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Jet Propulsion Laboratory (U.S.)</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n81036001</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="610" ind1="2" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Jet Propulsion Laboratory (U.S.)</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Space flight to Mars.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85125929</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Mars (Planet)</subfield><subfield code="x">Exploration.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85081553</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Mechanical Engineering.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Engineering & Applied Sciences.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Aeronautics Engineering & Astronautics.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Vol vers Mars.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Mars (Planète)</subfield><subfield code="x">Exploration.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">SCIENCE</subfield><subfield code="x">Astronomy.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Planets</subfield><subfield code="x">Exploration</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Space flight to Mars</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Mars (Planet)</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="758" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">has work:</subfield><subfield code="a">Exploration and engineering (Text)</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCFMFMVTxR4jJQJdppx4P43</subfield><subfield code="4">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="z">9781421416045</subfield><subfield code="z">1421416042</subfield><subfield code="w">(DLC) 2014018368</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="830" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">New series in NASA history.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n86705686</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="0"><subfield code="l">FWS01</subfield><subfield code="p">ZDB-4-EBA</subfield><subfield code="q">FWS_PDA_EBA</subfield><subfield code="u">https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=882657</subfield><subfield code="3">Volltext</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="880" ind1="3" ind2=" "><subfield code="6">246-00/$1</subfield><subfield code="a">硅汰牯瑡潩湡湅楧敮牥湩</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="936" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">BATCHLOAD</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">YBP Library Services</subfield><subfield code="b">YANK</subfield><subfield code="n">12318972</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">EBSCOhost</subfield><subfield code="b">EBSC</subfield><subfield code="n">882657</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ebrary</subfield><subfield code="b">EBRY</subfield><subfield code="n">ebr11025073</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ProQuest Ebook Central</subfield><subfield code="b">EBLB</subfield><subfield code="n">EBL3318876</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Askews and Holts Library Services</subfield><subfield code="b">ASKH</subfield><subfield code="n">AH35312052</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Internet Archive</subfield><subfield code="b">INAR</subfield><subfield code="n">explorationengin0000conw</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="994" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">92</subfield><subfield code="b">GEBAY</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ZDB-4-EBA</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="049" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">DE-863</subfield></datafield></record></collection> |
