The Handbook of Lunar Base Design and Development provides information on all aspects of designing, building and operating future bases on the Moon, along with its commercialization. There are many plans already in place for doing so, and many companies ready to produce the necessary materials.Split into nine comprehensive thematic sections, the reference work covers the entire lunar base process, from its inception to its operation. It begins with chapters on the history of lunar exploration and present-day, essential data on the Moon and its environment. It then examines the initial mission planning and site selection phases before moving on to current lunar base designs, their development, and finally their day-to-day operation. The final sections discuss the commercialization of the Moon in depth, exploring topics ranging from lunar resource utilization all the way to the exploration of Mars and beyond. Editor-in-Chief Peter Eckart’s Lunar Handbook served as a foundational source in this field from its initial release in 1999 through the 2006 second edition, providing the inspiration for this long overdue, completely overhauled work on the subject.This book thus serves as a practical all-in-one guide for aerospace professionals and engineers of all related disciplines looking to learn more about the challenges and opportunities of setting up a commercial lunar base.

Klimawandel und Ressourcenverknappung, aber auch der stetig steigende Verkehrsaufwand machen es unabdingbar, neue Lösungen für eine umweltschonende und menschenfreundliche Mobilität zu entwickeln. Der flüssige und sichere Übergang von einer Mobilitätsform zur anderen, die Nutzung unterschiedlicher individueller, geteilter oder öffentlicher Verkehrsmittel auf einem Weg, muss künftig komfortabel und einfach möglich sein, um Menschen ein positives Mobilitätserlebnis zu vermitteln. Bereits heute gibt es Konzepte und realisierte Infrastrukturprojekte, die in beispielhafter Weise die Zukunft einer nachhaltigen und vernetzten Mobilit.t greifbar machen. Im Fokus dieses Bands steht die Bedeutung der Gestaltung: Über wegweisende Projekte aus den Bereichen Design, Architektur und Städtebau werden anhand von Fotos, Planzeichnungen und Kurztexten vorgestellt. Mit diesem internationalen Überblick zeigt Mobility Design nicht nur den aktuellen Stand nachhaltiger Mobilitätssysteme auf, sondern widmet sich der Mobilität als einer der wichtigsten Gestaltungsaufgaben der Zukunft. Mit Projekttexten von Markus Hieke, Christian Holl und Martina Metzner

Climate change and increasing resource scarcity together with rising traffic volumes force us to develop new environmentally friendly and people-oriented mobility options. In order to provide a positive mobility experience, the transition from one mobility mode to another must be managed smoothly and safely, and individual, shared or public means of transportation must become convenient and easy. Conceptual as well as existing infrastructure projects provide models for future sustainable and connected mobility. This volume focuses on the importance of design, introducing through photos, plans, and brief texts over groundbreaking projects from the disciplines of product design, architecture, and urban planning. With this international overview Mobility Design portrays the current situation of sustainable mobility systems, while identifying mobility as one of the most important design tasks of the future. With project texts by Markus Hieke, Christian Holl, and Martina Metzner

Climate change, increasing resource scarcity, and rising traffic volumes are forcing us to develop new environmentally friendly and people-oriented mobility options. With the expansion of digital information systems, we will soon be able to reconfigure different modes of transport to suit our needs. These developments represent a significant challenge for designing a wide range of different mobility spaces. While Volume 1 of this series focused on practical aspects, Volume 2 collects research methods and findings from the fields of design, architecture, urban planning, geography, social sciences, traffic planning, psychology, and communication technologies. The book’s consideration of the possibilities and prospects of usercentred mobility design offers an important contribution to the ongoing debate concerning the mobility revolution.

How can the ongoing transformation of transportation succeed? With its focus on the environmental and societal sustainability of new planning measures, design research plays a central role in the development of sustainable mobility. The third volume of the ¬Mobility Design series is a practice-oriented resource for communities, planners, mobility providers, and politicians. Developed through close collaboration between municipal authorities and mobility designers, these recommendations and examples demonstrate how cities can promote the potential of intermodal, environmentally friendly mobility. Their design principles, rigorously grounded in scientific knowledge and based on user needs, supply useful tools for those involved in the development of future-oriented mobility concepts.Shares the results of the research ¬project InterMoDe at the Offenbach ¬Institute for Mobility Design and the City of OffenbachProvides strategies for the design of intermodal mobility systems
