maxuta_id="016460" TSANDER, TSIOLKOVSKY INSCRIBED SIGNED BOOK!!! It's offered to your attention the Soviet 1932 dated book "Problem of flight by means of jet apparatuses" written by the first serious Soviet Rocket theoretician of Friedrich TSANDER who designed the first liquid-fuelled rocket. The book was published just one year before his death. The main goal of this book is two inscriptions on the title page - one written by the author Friedrich Tsander to his famous colleague space dreamer Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, and another one is Tsiolkovsky complimentary note about this Tsander book. Tsander wrote: "This modest work to Konstantin Eduardovich. F.Tsander [signed]" (Eduardovich is Tsiolkovsky patronymic name). Tsiolkovsky wrote below: "This is extremely serious and necessary book. K.Tsiolkovsky [signed]". The book is written in both English and Russian! It's softcovered, smaller then A5 format. There are no page numeration but it looks like about 150 pages book. This is the first book ever met with the inscriptions and signatures of both Tsiolkovsky and Tsander, published when both were alive. Tsander died in 1933, Tsiolkovsky died in 1935. Tsander Friedrich Arturovich (August 23, 1887 – March 28, 1933), (transliterated from the Russian version of his name: Ôðèäðèõ Àðòóðîâè÷ Öà Ãäåð) or Fridrihs Canders (the Latvian version of it, or sometimes the German spelling Friedrich Zander) was a Soviet pioneer of rocketry and spaceflight. He designed the first liquid-fuelled rocket to be launched in the Soviet Union and made many important theoretical contributions to the road to space. Tsander was born in Riga into an ethnically German family. His father Artur Konstantinovich was a doctor. Fridrikh trained as an engineer and became fascinated by the ideas and work of Konstantin Tsiolkovsky. In particular, he became passionate about the exploration of Mars, adopting "towards Mars!" as a personal slogan, and made precise calculations of the trajectory required to get there. In 1908, he published his first work considering the problems of interplanetary travel in which he addressed issues such as life support and became the first to suggest growing plants in greenhouses aboard a spacecraft. In 1911, he published plans for a spacecraft built using combustible alloys in its structure that would take off like a conventional aircraft and then burn its wings for fuel as it reached the upper atmosphere and no longer needed them. 1924 was a particularly active year for Tsander. Together with Yuri Kondratyuk and his mentor Tsiolokovsky, he founded the Society for Studies of Interplanetary Travel. In an early publication, they would be the first to suggest using the Earth's atmosphere as a way of braking a re-entering spacecraft. The same year, Tsander lodged a patent in Moscow for a winged rocket that he believed would be suitable for interplanetary flight, and in October gave a lecture to the Moscow Institute on the possibility of reaching Mars by rocket. During questioning after the lecture, he summarised the importance of reaching this planet in particular: "because it has an atmosphere and the capacity to support life. Mars is also known as 'the red star' and this is the emblem of our grand Soviet army." Around this time, Tsander became the first to suggest the solar sail as a means of spacecraft propulsion. In 1930 the Soviet government assigned two groups with the making and testing of rocket propulsion with liquid-fuel, one led by Tsander and the other by Glushko. In 1931, Tsander was a founding member of GIRD (Group for the Investigation of Reaction Propulsion) (Ãðóïïà èçó÷åÃèÿ ðåà êòèâÃîãî äâèæåÃèÿ (ÃÈÃÄ)) in Moscow. The group set about attempting to construct liquid-fuelled rockets, and it was its tenth attempt (the GIRD-X) that finally flew successfully on November 25, 1933. Tsander had designed the rocket, but did not live to see it fly, having died earlier that year in Kislovodsk. Tsander crater on the Moon is named after him, and the Latvian Academy of Sciences awards a physics and mathematics prize in his honour. Tsiolkovsky Konstantin Eduardovich was a philosopher, the great enthusiast of metal dirigible building and space exploration. Living in Russian city Kaluga, far from the capital in a small house, being half-deaf, self-taught scientist Tsiolkovsky worked as the teacher of mathematics in local school! His name became well-known in the world because of his dreams about space and rockets! He foreknew and described in his works (1903 and 1914) the future principals of space flights using jet power and rockets, the weightlessness problem, how to survive in spaceship and the necessary equipment for that and for "space walks". Fantastic person! We may just be delighted with his clear ideas what he had living in a province of not an advanced country... Condition - very good! Happy buying!
