** Flight dynamics, the science of aircraft and spacecraft design

That Ezekiel endeavors, differently than others of the Bible's authors who describe mystic visions, to report about as many details of the design of what he has perceived as possible nourishes doubts that his account can usefully be interpreted merely on a mystical basis and strengthens tendencies to explain certain passages of the book as descriptions of sightings of a spacecraft.

Aerospace engineering is the branch of engineering behind the design, construction and science of aircraft and spacecraft.

The design of the instrument was based on that of an instrument flown on the Pioneer Venus spacecraft.

The engine was technically a liquid hydrogen / liquid oxygen design, but dramatically reduces the amount of oxidizer needed to be carried on board by utilising atmospheric oxygen as the spacecraft climbed through the lower atmosphere.

A deeply modernized version of the R-7 is still used as the launch vehicle for the Soviet / Russian Soyuz spacecraft, marking more than 50 years of operational history of the original Sergei Korolyov's rocket design.

Besides making travel faster, such improvements would allow greater design " safety margins " by reducing the imperative to make spacecraft lighter.

The Airlock Module's manufacturer, McDonnell Douglas, even recycled the hatch design from its Gemini spacecraft and kludged what was originally designed for the conical Gemini Command Module onto the cylindrical Skylab Airlock Module.

According to Russian sources, the official decision to launch Sputnik 2 was made on October 10 or 12, leaving the team only four weeks to design and build the spacecraft.

Systems engineering techniques are used in complex projects: spacecraft design, computer chip design, robotics, software integration, and bridge building.

Solar pressure also affects the attitude of a craft, a factor that must be included in spacecraft design.

Eight separate boxed games were released as tie-in products: Striker, a game of tabletop miniature warfare, added very complex rules for vehicle design & combat, Mayday concentrated on small ship vs ship space combat, Snapshot and Azhanti High Lightning featured small-unit battles on board spacecraft, while Fifth Frontier War, Invasion Earth and Dark Nebula were wargames based on selected interstellar conflicts from the Classic Traveller ( though in the case of the later this was not the case on its publication, but they were used as the basis of parts of the ' imperial ' background ) future history.

Additionally, Striker 2 provided ground combat rules for use with miniatures ( based on GDW's Command Decision rules for 20th-century warfare ), and Fire, Fusion, and Steel collected design rules for spacecraft, other vehicles, and weapons in one volume.
