Space Technology / Space Research: Volume 3 (Kleczek, Josip//Space Sciences Dictionary)

This is the third volume of a four-volume dictionary which covers wide subject areas which are independent of each other. The present volume contains the terms used in space technology and space research. The topics covered include: materials and structures; automation; balloons; rockets; propulsion; space-flight centre; space vehicles; satellites; space applications; mission; space cabin; space research; space astronomy; space biology; space medicine; exobiology; and space law. The dictionary consists of two main parts. In the first part, the terms are listed in all six languages under 86 different subject sections. The second part of this dictionary is an alphabetical index for each language providing a quick reference to the position of any term in the first part. The whole work is thus equivalent to 30 thirty bilingual dictionaries. The terms have been derived from journals, monographs, textbooks and lectures; some new terms have been proposed by competent specialists. It is hoped that the dictionary will help scientists, engineers, teachers, students and other users.
