Название: Planets in Binary Star Systems Автор: Nader Haghighipour Издательство: Springer; Год: 2010 Страниц 332 ISBN: 9048186862 Формат: PDF Размер: 6,4 MB Язык Английский The discovery of extrasolar planets over the past decade has had major impacts on our understanding of the formation and dynamical evolution of planetary systems. There are features and characteristics unseen in our solar system and unexplainable by the current theories of planet formation and dynamics. Among these new surprises is the discovery of planets in binary and multiple-star systems. The discovery of such "binary-planetary" systems has confronted astrodynamicists with many new challenges, and has led them to re-examine the theories of planet formati

Energiya-Buran: the Soviet Space Shuttle, the authors describe the long
development path of the Soviet space shuttle system, consisting of the
Energiya rocket and the Buran orbiter. The program eventually saw just
one unmanned flight in November 1988 before the end of the Cold War and
the collapse of the Soviet Union sealed its fate. After a Foreword
provided by lead Buran test pilot Igor Volk, the authors look at the
experience gradually accumulated in high-speed aeronautics with the
development of various Soviet rocket planes and intercontinental cruise
missiles between the 1930s to 1950s and the study of several small
spaceplanes in the 1960s. Next the authors explain how the perceived
military threat of the US Space Shuttle led to the decision in Februa
