One of the books which keeps being mentioned intermittently is the
voluminous /International Reference Guide to Space Launch Systems/; currently in its third (1999) edition. Sometimes known as the Isakowitz, after the editor of the first edition. Here's a summary of the differences from the 2nd to the 3rd edition, from page IX of the 3rd edition: * Added Brazilian VLS, Russian Shtil, Strela, and Angara, and US K1, BA-2, and Minotaur [Kingdon: VLS and Shtil have flown; I believe the other 5 have not and in some cases clearly will not] * Added Atlas V, Delta II and IV, Soyuz ST, and Sea Launch Zenit 3SL (and perhaps other variants of existing families). * Removed Energia, Conestoga, and the Historical Launch Systems section (according to the book, this material is on the AIAA web site, although I haven't looked for it). |
