Preview Debus: Launching a Vision
Description:
The life and career of Dr. Kurt H. Debus, the rocket pioneer from Peenemunde, Germany, who led the creation of what is known today as the Cape Canaveral Spaceport, is a story yet to be reported from start to finish. Yet, this story begs to be told in an age when there is renewed interest in creating a vision of space travel that includes advanced “spaceports.” Dr. Debus was a key leader in the German “rocket team” of Wernher von Braun. This paper covers Dr. Debus’ life and the extraordinary contributions that he made to the astronautical profession. The paper also describes the important systems engineering role that Dr. Debus and Wernher von Braun encouraged, built, and passed on to succeeding generations. Finally, the paper reflects on the legacy of Dr. Debus and the challenges that remain in developing advanced spaceport architectures and in travel to and from space for anyone, anytime, anywhere.__________Монография о жизни и работе Курта Дебуса, одного из основоположников практической космонавтики. В годы Второй мировой войны Дебус работал в Пенемюнде над созданием ракеты "Фау-2". Переехав в конце 1940-х годов в США, он руководил созданием космопорта на мысе Канаверал. Дебус был основателем и первым директором Космического центра пусковых операций (ныне - Космический центр им. Дж. Кеннеди). Он руководил множеством важных запусков, включая запуск первого американского спутника "Эксплорер-1", первого американского астронавта Алана Шепарда и всех лунных экспедиций. Настоящая работа рассказывает о жизни К. Дебуса и незаменимом вкладе, внесённом им в освоение космического пространства.
