Book Synopsis It's ONLY Rocket Science by : Lucy Rogers

Download or read book It's ONLY Rocket Science written by Lucy Rogers. This book was released on 2008-03-08. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most amateur astronomers – and many of those with similar interests but who are not currently practising observers – have only a sketchy understanding of space flight. 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.

Book excerpt: "The introduction of the Core Independent Peripherals represents a major shift in the way PIC® microcontroller solutions can be developed today. While low-end 32-bit MCUs, competing for the same applications space, are suggesting an ever stronger focus on software (meaning more code, more complexity) and require higher clock speeds, the Core Independent Peripherals philosophy is based on the use of autonomous and directly interconnected hardware peripheral blocks. You will achieve more while reducing software complexity, delivering faster response times at lower clock speeds using less power!"--Back cover
