Space Mission

Since astronauts first ventured into space in the early 1960s, the human race has been thinking about the bigger picture: Could we ever live in space? Where would we plant our new roots? Explore the ways engineers, researchers, and astrophysicists are pushing our scientific limits every day to get us closer to living on another planet.

Sie suchen alte Freunde - und fliegen Millionen von Lichtjahren weit. Seit der Planet Trokan, der an Stelle des Mars um die Sonne kreist, aus dem Zeitrafferfeld auftauchte und sich eine völlig neue Zivilisation in direkter Nachbarschaft der Erde präsentierte, sind Ereignisse von großer Tragweite geschehen. Perry Rhodan, Reginald Bull und Alaska Saedelaere verschwanden im sogenannten Pilzdom, gelangten auf die mysteriöse Brücke in die Unendlichkeit und wurden im Arsenal der Macht getrennt.

Solana Sina is a scarab, salvaging wrecked and abandoned space habitats among the Billion Worlds of the Tenth Millennium. She and an oddball crew—a raven, a cyborg, and a dinosaur—board the derelict colony Safdaghar hoping to score some loot before the colony gets catapulted into the outer reaches of the Solar System. But Solana and the scarabs come face-to-face with a gang of vicious pirates looking for slaves and treasure, and a mysterious stranger intent on preserving an explosive secret. Solana must overcome her own horrifying past to survive and escape before it's too late.

Sie folgen einem transgalaktischen Notruf – auf der verzweifelten Suche nach ES. Das Ende des 21. Jahrhunderts Neuer Galaktischer Zeitrechnung ist angebrochen. Mehr als dreieinhalbtausend Jahre von unserer Zeit entfernt lebt die Menschheit in Frieden. Zwischen den Sternen der Milchstraße herrschen keine großen Konflikte mehr. Wie es aussieht, könnte Perry Rhodan, der als erster Mensch von der Erde auf Außerirdische gestoßen ist, sich endlich seinem großen Ziel nähern: der alte Traum von Freundschaft und Frieden zwischen den Völkern der Milchstraße und der umliegenden Galaxien.

EINE VERZWEIFELTE MISSION - EINE HANDVOLL ÜBERLEBENDER - EIN GEHEIMNISVOLLER PLANET. Kriege, Umweltzerstörung und Seuchen - die Erde des 22. Jahrhunderts steht vor dem Kollaps. Das Ende der Menschheit droht! Daher soll die Terraforming-Mission Genesis einen weit entfernten, erdähnlichen Planeten urbar machen. Doch es kommt zur Katastrophe, und die Genesis stürzt auf einem unwirtlichen Gesteinsbrocken ab. Wie konnte das passieren? Was erwartet die wenigen Überlebenden auf diesem unbekannten Planeten? Und werden sie die Erde je wiedersehen?

In Apollo's Legacy, space historian Roger D. Launius explores the many-faceted stories told about the meaning of the Apollo program and how it forever altered American society. The Apollo missions marked the first time human beings left Earth's orbit and visited another world, and thus they loom large in our collective memory. Many have detailed the exciting events of the Apollo program, but Launius offers unique insight into its legacy as seen through multiple perspectives.

Подобрать находку – легко. Избавиться от последствий – сложно. Мне, к примеру, придется оказаться в будущем, стать опекуном принцессы и обмануть бдительность ее главного телохранителя. И как было бы проще справиться с этой задачей, если бы этот телохранитель не был таким привлекательным!

From designers to engineers, and even communication specialists and the builders who assembled these towering rockets, hundreds of thousands of people worked on getting humans to the moon, yet only a few have been recognized for their contributions. George D. Morgan sets the record straight by giving these forgotten figures of space travel their due.

Today the Space Race is widely viewed poignantly and fondly as a race to the Moon that culminated with Apollo 11 “winning” the Race for the United States. In fact, it encompassed a much broader range of competition between the Soviet Union and the United States that affected everything from military technology to successfully launching satellites that could land on Mars or orbit other planets in the Solar System. The notion that America “won” the Space Race at the end of the 1960s overlooks just how competitive the Space Race actually was in launching people into orbit.

Lia Johansen was created for only one purpose: to slip onto the strategically placed New Sol Space Station and explode. But her mission goes to hell when her clock malfunctions, freezing her countdown with just two minutes to go. With no Plan B, no memories of her past, and no identity besides a name stolen from a dead POW, Lia has no idea what to do next. Her life gets even more complicated when she meets Michael Sorenson, the real Lia's childhood best friend.

Die Kosmische Hanse ist ein Garant für Frieden und Wohlstand: Sie fördert den Handel zwischen der Menschheit und den anderen Zivilisationen der Milchstraße. Doch die feindliche Superintelligenz Seth-Apophis versucht mit rabiaten Mitteln, einen Krieg in der Galaxis zu entfesseln. Ein Beispiel dafür ist Arxisto: Diese Welt der Kosmischen Hanse sieht sich schweren Anschlägen ausgesetzt. Angreifer ist eine riesige fremde Raumstation, die jedem Waffeneinsatz widersteht.

No one knows what to make of the mysterious clicks. To Ajay Joshi, the amateur astronomer who discovered the sounds with his radio telescope, the clicks represent proof of aliens on Callisto, a moon of Jupiter. To Dr. Kiera Walsh, an aerospace engineer introduced to Ajay and his findings, the consistent, repetitive pattern of the clicks points to the possibility of a lost Martian probe caught in Callisto's orbit. She shares this view with her employer, Augustus Amato, and is surprised to learn he disagrees with her, believing the clicks herald something more ominous orbiting Callisto.

On the border of Zahl-Legion space, far from anything Austin Stone has ever known, Star Runners are dying. Lurking in the darkness, the Zahl Empire has a new threat facing the Legion Tridents. After surviving pirates and battling threats to Earth, Austin knows better than most rookies in the Tizona Squadron the dangers that exist in the universe.

Lieutenant Commander Crystal Wolf's hatred of politics has never been a secret through her spotless military career. So why is she being sent to Earth to speak at a military hearing on behalf of The Lands and Waters of Neophia Organization? When Crystal's team is tasked with convincing the US military to continue the officer exchange program that first brought Lieutenant Desiree Flint and Ensign Justin Anderson to Neophia to serve on Journey’s first tour, the stakes are already high: If they fail their mission, Flint and Anderson won’t be able to return for the second tour.

Only 24 human beings have traveled to the moon. Theirs were the most daring voyages in mankind's history, and their view of Earth from the moon changed them and the way we see our home planet. Now in their emeritus years, the 12 remaining lunar explorers for the first time reveal the true source of courage, leadership, and the quiet patriotism that it took to accomplish their missions. Their voyages to the moon led them to the most incredible discovery of all: our home planet and its precious place in the universe.

Carl Ramsey ha hecho lo impensable: ha rechazado un trabajo. Cuando el trato es despreciable incluso para forajidos como la tripulación del Mobius, ha de haber algo desagradable detrás. Carl y sus amigos deciden dar caza a su potencial empleador y entregarlo a las autoridades. Pero como justicieros aficionados, se ven atrapados en un pantano moral de conflictos de intereses.

After just 100 days since the 453 hand-picked space colonist's departure from Earth, the travelers received news that the United States was forced to declare war on China. It would be the last communication they would receive. Two hundred and fifty years later, another hand-selected group—born several generations after these men and women landed on Mars—left the red planet on a return mission to Earth. The Earth they would find when they arrived was not the Earth their ancestors left—far from it.

Dr. Rebecca Carter stood at the front of a crowded auditorium, the bright lights shining down on her as she addressed the audience. She spoke with conviction, her voice filled with intelligence and determination. "But we can't afford to ignore the evidence any longer," she argued, her eyes flashing with intensity. "These solar flares are unlike anything we've ever seen before. They're increasing in frequency and intensity, and if we don't act soon, Earth will be destroyed."

John Korbin had lost everything, but he was an outworlder to the nines. He had survived the war. He had survived the loss of his wife and daughter and his whole family, but would he survive what followed? And then there was the Tesseract. It was a ship built with alien technology, but the mystery only began there. John should have known that when something looks too good to be true that it generally is, but he bought the Tesseract anyway.

Fünfzig Jahre nachdem der Astronaut Perry Rhodan auf dem Mond ein außerirdisches Raumschiff entdeckt hat, ist eine neue Epoche der Menschheit angebrochen. Die Solare Union steuert den Aufbruch ins All. Die Menschen haben Kolonien nicht nur auf dem Mond und Mars, sondern auch in fernen Sonnensystemen errichtet. Mit ihren Raumschiffen erforschen sie die Milchstraße und pflegen Kontakte zu fremden Zivilisationen. Wie in der Vergangenheit sehen sich die wagemutigen Pioniere nicht nur mit den kosmischen Gefahren von lebensfeindlichen Umwelten konfrontiert, sondern auch mit Bedrohungen von ­innen wie außen.
