Spaceplanes

Autor: Matthew A. Bentley

Número de Páginas: 242

Spaceplanes From Airport to Spaceport presents a coherent, lucid, and optimistic picture of the future of the near future. Space vehicles may soon take off from international airports and refuel in space. New technologies could allow flights to take off regularly between the Earth and the Moon. The technical details presented explain precisely how all this can be accomplished within the next few decades. This book also explains why the Space Tourist market could easily become the single most important factor in the mid-term future development of space transportation. In a few years it will be possible to board a spaceplane and fly into Earth orbit, and perhaps visit a space station. Later development could include refuelling in orbit to take a tour of cislunar space. The book's solid engineering foundation will be of interest to both space exploration enthusiasts and future space travelers.

Public Private Partnership for Urban Rail Transit

Autor: Joachim Schneider

Número de Páginas: 503

Foreword Suburbs and inner city redevelopment zones of cities are heavily reliant on Urban Rail Transit links, which are of decisive importance for their development and prosperity. Simultaneously, owners are dependent on such links for growth in the value of their properties. How is it possible for the public sector in times of tight budgets to achieve such infrastructure links by way of a win - win situation? This is where PPP - schemes can offer a way forward. In his research, Joachim Schneider describes and analyses successful PP- schemes abroad for this particular application: namely T JD (Transit Joint Development), TOO (Transit oriented Development) and DBOM - schemes (Design, Build, Operate, Maintenance or Concession type contracts). These schemes are illustrated with actual examples from the United States and the United Kingdom. The theory of New Institutional Economics is applied to elaborate on the efficiency of these schemes. Dipl.-Ing. Joachim Schneider's many years of experience in transport ministries at state level, e.g. being accountable for the Urban Rail Transit Network of Berlin-Brandenburg and now at the European Commission, Directorate-General for Energy and...
