The Sun, the Earth, and Near-Earth Space: A Guide to the Sun-Earth System

NOTE: NO FURTHER DISCOUNT FOR THIS PRINT PRODUCT-- OVERSTOCK SALE -- Significantly reduced list price Curious how a device designed to produce fuel and oxygen on Mars transformed into a source of clean energy right here on Earth? The 2010 edition of NASA's annual Spinoff publication is available, highlights innovations and notable examples of NASA technology improving everyday life on our home planet. Spinoff provides an in-depth look at how the agency's initiatives in aeronautics and space exploration have resulted in beneficial commercial technologies in the fields of health and medicine, transportation, public safety, consumer goods, environmental protection, computer technology, and industrial productivity. These advancements enhance our quality of life while contributing to the nation's economy through the creation of jobs and the support of businesses, large and small. They also help to inspire younger generations to explore education and careers in science, technology, math, and engineering. Spinoff 2010 contains dozens of examples highlighting how space technology yields innovations with Earthly benefits, including: <ul>
<li>Algorithms developed by a NASA researcher that are enabling technology for medical diagnosis and prediction of brain blood flow-related conditions such as stroke, dementia, and traumatic brain injury</li>
<li>NASA-proven, drag-reducing wing modifications that have already saved commercial airlines more than 2 billion gallons in jet fuel</li>
<li>Inflatable antennas -- developed with NASA funding -- that support essential communication needs in remote areas during military operations, as well as in disaster zones</li>
<li>Image sensors, invented by a NASA team, that are now featured in one out of every three cell phone cameras</li>
<li>A groundwater remediation compound, created by NASA to treat contaminated launch facilities, now being used to clean up polluted areas around the world</li>
</ul>
 Spinoff also profiles NASA's research and development activities, education efforts and partnership successes for the year. This edition celebrates the 10th anniversary of continuous habitation onboard the International Space Station, revealing the many ways that technologies developed for the space station have resulted in public benefits on Earth.

Spinoff, 2010: NASA Technologies Benefit Society

Schwerin, Bo

Rademakers, Lisa

Drumheller, Deborah

This heavily-illustrated resource introduces electromagnetic waves, their behaviors, and how scientists visualize these data. Each region of the spectrum is described and illustrated with engaging examples of NASA science. It presents the electromagnetic spectrum by introducing interactions with these waves on a daily basis and how NASA scientists use the unique qualitites of each wavelength to study the sun, planets, and origins of the universe. EM (Electromagnetic) waves mneasured by Earth-observing satellites help NASA scientists understand our Earth System and changing global patterns and climate. Appropriate for grades 5-12, undergraduates and adults.

Tour of the Electromagnetic Spectrum

Ginger Butcher

This book covers a survey of NASA's work in aircraft propulsion from its origins as the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) to the early 21st century, starting around year 1915. It covers activities and science discoveries through NASA's aeronautical centers -- Langley Research Center in Virginia, Ames Research Center and Armstrong Flight Research Center in California, and Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field in Ohio. Advances within these facilities also became breakthroughs in aerospace technologies. Each chapter of this historical reference covers different scientific breakthroughs, such as emerging turbojet revolutions, military high speed and commercial supersonic flights, Aircraft Energy Efficiency Program, turboprop technology, gas turbines, wind tunnels, noise efficiency, flight research programs, emissions, and so much more. You will find a rich number of illustrations of planes from earlier times to futuristic, such as photos of Falcon planes within this comprehensive resource.
