Unveiling the Universe
Abstract
Unveil the Universe includes material on almost every aspect of astronomy, beginning from first principles. It is unique in providing a level of scientific accuracy and detail found in no other introductory book, in addition to a wealth of material on instruments, theory, observation, space exploration, and cosmology. It is encyclopaedic in the breadth of its coverage, yet still contains detailed explanations of the underlying theories. With its many colour illustrations it will capture the intere st of any reader, and the clear, concise text provides the reader with a fascinating, easy-to-read, and scientifically accurate description of the fundamentals of astronomy.
The theory of Disruptive Technologies explains the evolution of technologies that disturb the status quo of both dominant technology platforms and competitive market layouts. In this paper, the theory of Disruptive Technologies for the space sector is explored. This exploration is required because the Disruptive Technology theory is currently based upon the innovation dynamics of mass consumer markets, which are significantly different from the dynamics of the low volume, highly governmentally influenced space sector. The objective is to clarify the dynamics of innovation in space (with particular respect to technological disruptions) in order to help decision makers in their effort to support innovation in the development of space technologies. This is done by analyzing the dynamics of the space sector and the theory of Disruptive Technologies in respect to its applicability to the space sector. The result of these analyses leads to the creation of a theory that is tailored to the specific innovation dynamics of the space sector. The theory is termed Disruptive Space Technologies. Key element of this theory is the fact that Disruptive Technologies in the space sector focus mainly on technology disruption rather than market disruption.
