{"product_id":"mars-patrick-stakem-9781983116902","title":"Mars","description":"Missions to Mars and beyond and beyond are lengthy and expensive. We need to ensure that we are delivering payloads that will function and return new data. The trade off is between one or two large traditional spacecraft, and a new concept, a large number of nearly identical small spacecraft, operating cooperatively. Necessarily, the Technology Readiness Level of this approach must be proven in Earth orbit, before the resources are allocated to deploy this approach to distant locations. Decades of time, and hundreds of millions of dollars are at stake.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick Stakem\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1983116904\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781983116902\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/08\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 86\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.21d","brand":"Patrick Stakem","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48588001476863,"sku":"9781983116902","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mars-patrick-stakem-9781983116902","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
