21st Century Complete Guide To Space Flight And Nanotechnology

This important and up-to-date electronic book on CD-ROM provides a comprehensive guide to NASA research into nanotechnology for use in future spacecraft and space exploration programs. Nanotechnology, called the next industrial revolution, refers to science, engineering, and technology at the level of atoms and molecules, with a length scale of 1 to 100 nanometers - a nanometer is one billionth of a meter. The emphasis of this unique disc title is on the NASA Center for Nanotechnology (CNT) at the Ames Research Center at Moffett Field in California, and the ANTS project (Autonomous NanoTechnology Swarm) of the Goddard and Langley Centers.
