Sinopse

Space Calendars explores the fascinating and complex world of timekeeping in space, revealing how astronauts, space agencies, and interstellar missions manage time far differently than we do on Earth. The book highlights the critical role of precise time measurement for everything from navigation and communication to ensuring astronaut health and safety. One intriguing aspect is the impact of time dilation, a consequence of relativity, which becomes significant at the high velocities encountered in space travel. Another key area is understanding how altered time perception affects astronauts psychologically and physiologically during long-duration missions. The book examines the development of specialized time systems for orbital operations and analyzes how various space agencies, such as NASA and ESA, implement mission-specific calendars and clocks. It delves into the history of time measurement, from ancient astronomical observations to today's atomic clocks, providing a comprehensive foundation for understanding the challenges of space timekeeping. By blending scientific theory, technical applications, and the human experience, Space Calendars demonstrates that our concept of time is shaped by our environment and technology. The book progresses logically, starting with the need for specialized timekeeping in space, then moving to mission-specific calendars, the human impact of altered time perception, and finally, theoretical challenges related to interstellar timekeeping. It draws from technical documents, astronaut memoirs, and scientific publications to present a comprehensive and accessible overview of this vital aspect of space exploration.

Asset Operations - The Future of...

Ryan Chan

In today’s world, the majority of asset-intensive organizations are still stuck with complex, rigid, and sometimes antiquated technology solutions that simply cannot step up to evolving challenges and an ever-changing market. Why do the world’s most important industries—ones that billions of people rely on for essential human needs—operate with approaches that run the risk of making them extremely inefficient and brittle? 
What if it didn’t have to be that way? 
Imagine a world where companies can move successfully into the future, where these brittle solutions are replaced with a flexible, simple approach that also delivers enterprise-grade capabilities. This book introduces asset operations management (AOM), an operating principle founded on the belief that asset-intensive organizations have much to gain by adopting new approaches to data, collaboration, and communication—all supported by modern, consumer-grade technology experiences. 
The best-of-breed organizations in asset-intensive industries have been changing the way their businesses run for years, and they’re reaping the rewards. The rest of the pack is struggling to keep up in the new paradigm—one where asset operations is central to operating efficiency and organizational resilience.
