Handbook of Space Engineering, Archaeology, and Heritage
Edited by Ann Darrin (John Hopkins University) and Beth L. O'Leary (New
Mexico State University)
Series: Advances in Engineering
CRC Press (Taylor and Francis Group)
Expanding the discipline of archaeology into the cosmos, this unique volume
offers a perspective rarely considered. It discusses the trail of debris that
humankind has left behind during space exploration as artifacts worthy of
investigation, whereas they provide evidence to our heritage as a planet.
Gathering together a number of leading thinkers, it discusses topics that are
no longer merely science fiction. They discuss the landscape of space,
spacecraft forensics and field techniques, our environmental footprints, and
the establishment of an archaeological record in space. Highly authoritative, it
goes a long way in separating fact from science fiction.
Table of Contents:
All Sky Survey. Intro the Space Age. Surveying and the Cultural Landscape of
Space. Spacecraft Forensics – Mystery Solving. Environmental Effects
Archaeological Record in Space. Field Techniques. Space Heritage and Policy.
