Erik Seedhouse Libros

Focusing on life support systems (LSS) essential for human habitation in space, this textbook explores their capabilities and functions within crewed spacecraft. It is designed for both undergraduate and postgraduate students, providing a comprehensive understanding of how these systems sustain life in extraterrestrial environments. The content is tailored to meet the educational needs of those studying aerospace engineering and related fields.

Detailing the Falcon 1, Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launch vehicles, the book shows how SpaceX is able to offer a full spectrum of light, medium, and heavy lift launch capabilities to its customers and how it is able to deliver spacecraft into any inclination and altitude, from low Earth orbit to geosynchronous orbit to planetary missions.

Recent surveys have provided new and updated information into public insights of the nascent space tourism industry. This book uniquely explores in detail the cutting-edge technologies, spacecraft capabilities, launch vehicles and the training that will define this commercial enterprise. The book also provides a manual for future suborbital and orbital private space explorers. Over half of the book is dedicated to providing for the first time essential training material for private spaceflight participants. This book provides a much needed, well-rounded understanding of what promises to be the most dynamic and exciting industry in the world.

A desperate mission unfolds aboard the Halo Genera, carrying four humans, two bio-engineered synthetics, and a troublesome robotic assistant named Larry. Their goal is to reach Despond 5, a distant planet, in a last effort to save humanity from extinction. However, the journey is fraught with challenges, including system failures, sabotage, and hostile aliens, forcing the crew to navigate a treacherous path. The stakes are high as they race against time to secure the future of the human race.

Recent missions on board the International Space Station have revealed previously unreported physiological consequences of long duration space flight, particularly in eyesight, and in this Brief Dr. Seedhouse reviews the existing theories on what causes this degeneration and how long it will last.
