E books & News on Rocketry & Space Technology

There are a number of sources on Internet hosting reviews on new publications. Some of them provide LINKS to the full text of some such publications, such as ebooks, reports etc., At this blog we attempt to cite some of those resources and provide links, through which one can browse through the full text.  Though they can be downloaded, it is advised not to do that as it is violation of copyright. Besides this, important developments and news in the fields of Space Technology & Rocketry are also covered, directing the users to the original sources for more information.

To start with, a few book in the field of 'Space Technology' are listed. under this service, in due course, a balanced coverage of those engineering subjects having relevance to space technology, rocketry and ground support activity.

Happy browsing!

  • Opportunity finds more evidence of past liquid water on Mars
    Mars Exploration Rover (NASA/JPL) NASA's Mars rover Opportunity has found veins of minerals that scientists say could have only formed in the presence of liquid water. Scientists said the mineral, thought to be gypsum, likely formed when water dissolved calcium from volcanic rocks, which later combined with sulfur to create the gypsum deposits. Scientists said the mineral veins, found near the rim of Endeavour crater, is a "slam-dunk story" showing how liquid water once flowed through fractures in the rock in the region. The finding adds to previous evidence that strongly indicates liquid water existed on Mars early in its history, when the planet had a thicker and warmer atmosphere.
