An exciting and illuminating discussion of the latest advancements in space travel, exploration, technology, and infrastructure

In New Space: From Low Earth Orbit to the Moon and Beyond, renowned physicist and space entrepreneur Stephen Cheung delivers a comprehensive overview of the current state of--and opportunities offered by--the space infrastructure industry, while Prof. Chih-Yung Wen and his team members discuss the basics of reusable rockets and the most important subsystems within these advanced rockets, including subjects like delta-V, specific impulses, thrust-to-weight ratio, and introducing the Mars Missions.

Cheung further explains new green energy technology that collects sunlight in geostationary orbits and then beams back the power in the form of microwaves. He also discusses how asteroids are categorized and targeted by missions with the goal of demonstrating new technology or collecting samples.

Readers will also find:

  • A thorough introduction to new space infrastructure, destinations, refueling, and business considerations
  • Comprehensive explorations of rockets, orbits, and low orbit satellites and space stations
  • Practical discussions of reuseable rockets and low-earth orbit satellite internet constellations
  • Complete treatments of precision agriculture, space tourism, space debris removal, and the settling of the moon and Mars

Perfect for anyone with an interest in recent developments in space exploration and technology, New Space: From Low Earth Orbit to the Moon and Beyond will also benefit science and engineering students seeking careers in the space industry.
