Managing
Martians
Donna Shirley, Danelle Morton
Synopsis
The leader of the team that created the Sojourner Mars rover
recounts how she attained her lifelong quest to reach Mars
and offers techniques for managing creative teams dealing
with high technology. Reprint. Tour.
The author, Donna Shirley , 13 May, 1998
Small town girl goes to Mars (virtually).
Managing Martians combines my autobiography with the story
of the Pathfinder mission to Mars, the building of the Sojourner
microrover that was the first successful mobile vehicle on
another planet (not counting the moon), and the ongoing saga
of the Mars Exploration Program which is flying robotic missions
to Mars every 26 months. Of interest to women, engineers and
scientists (and people who wannabe), and those who like stories
of hard work, suspense and success. |

Automation
in Space vol 2: Robots in Space
D.R. Sloggett
Synopsis
This second volume of "Automation in Space" addresses
the practical testing and evaluation of robot systems in space.
It looks at the different types of systems that could be flight
tested, their capabilities, the criteria used to evaluate
a candidate system and timescales for deployment. The author
concludes that a simple robotic control system could be developed
in the next few years, as part of an overall long term development
project, thus creating an opportunity for flight proving of
the technology. |
