Description/Notes
"Non-Propellant Propulsion for Space Flight" inspires readers from children to adults to have strong interests in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. This book presents unique propulsion with basic mathematics and physics for spacecraft. Readers will explore beyond the traditional views for planetary travels in the solar system to discover various unique and breakthrough propulsive technologies, and read two proposed propulsive ideas presented by the book's author. Dedicated to sci-fi fans and readers I hope you are inspired and encourage you to establish strong interests to pursue their degrees in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and to have hope for advanced and unique propulsive technologies. For in the words of, Dr. Robert H. Goddard, the pioneer of rocket science, ?It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow?. About the Author: Dr. Yung-Kang (Derby) Sun is an independent researcher, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and mathematics) educator at colleges and universities, and founder/director of Engineering Design and Development Group-a small scientific and engineering research, development and consultant business. He earned his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, M.S. in Engineering Technology and B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. Since the year of 2002, Dr. Sun has presented his researches in the subjects of space propulsion and energy technologies for future space explorations at various conferences. AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics) recently elected him as an Associate Fellow for the contribution of engineering researches and education in the aerospace and mechanical engineering fields. His research interests are unique and breakthrough space propulsive technologies, energy-harvesting technologies through dynamic and harsh environments in space, and alternative and renewable energy systems for planetary explorations.
