We are starting to see the first real progress in space exploration in
the private sector, and there are many jobs becoming available in this
fascinating new field. Explore what's out there as you embark on a new
expedition in Cosmic Careers.
Sierra Nevada, Northrup Grumman, Boeing, and Bigelow Aerospace built
prototypes of deep-space habitats that NASA began testing in March 2019.
Therefore, physical evidence exists that human beings are committed to
living in space for purposes of research and industrial pursuits such as
mining.
Now that companies are set to take both professional astronauts and
well-trained passengers into space as early as summer of 2021, this book
will prepare you to take your place--whether as an investor, owner,
employee, or enthusiast--in the exciting world of space exploration.
In Cosmic Careers, readers will:
- Receive a comprehensive listing of the careers and skillsets that are
in demand over the coming years in space exploration.
- Access stories, company profiles, and technical descriptions
spotlighting information that is relevant today and over the next few
decades.
- Gain insights into the world of space exploration, its characters, and
the real opportunities that are within anyone's grasp.
Cosmic Careers is filled with practical information on the issues and
challenges that must be solved to further the exploration and the
establishment of settlements beyond planet Earth.
There will also be opportunities in harnessing energy from the sun using
Earth orbiting solar power satellites; designing new forms of space
transportation; and construction of facilities for refueling stations
for rockets, processing minerals from near Earth asteroids, and building
new spaceships and space habitats.
