Book Description
These are volatile, uncertain, and ambiguous times for the Christian church. The Mission Filter is one of those Christian leadership books that provides practical advice on how to make difficult decisions and stay focused on the mission. Centered on the prayer of Jesus for his disciples in John chapter 17, The Mission Filter demonstrates how leaders can apply a question or statement as a practical, empowering strategy to stay focused on the mission and be fruitful. With a plethora of issues facing the church today, you’ll find essential principles of Christian Leadership that will help improve your decision-making and help you make the best use of resources. Leadership in an organization is tiring, and without the right filter, you can quickly lose focus on your mission. Imagine what it would look like if your organization had a filter for planning and decision-making? What if your leaders had a question they could ask their teams to keep the process focused on the “why”? We all know people engage more effectively when they understand the “why” behind the “what.” When tensions rise and ideas compete, leaders find that The Mission Filter helps redirect the group's attention so they can make better decisions faster. It gives you laser focus on your mission to tackle every project, initiative, and activity and let God use it to His Glory. Challenges and decisions go hand in hand. Christian Leadership isn’t straightforward, but when you’re facing a pandemic or other crisis, the right filter can create a guidepost to ensure you’re meeting the spiritual needs and physical safety of the people you’re shepherding. The Mission Filter is one of those Christian Leadership books the world sorely needs. It can give business leaders and ministry leaders alike a framework to stay the course and raise up the next generation. A culmination of more than 50 years of ministry successes and failures, it will inspire you to live intentionally and meet the needs of your neighbors around you.

Book Description
This book was compiled from contributions given at the 7th IAA Symposium on Small Satellites for Earth Observation, May 4–8, 2009, Berlin (IAA – International Academy of Astronautics). From the 15 sessions for oral presentations and two poster sessions, 52 contributions were selected which are representative for the new developments and trends in the area of small satellites for Earth observation. They re ect the potentials of a diversity of missions and related technologies. This may be based on national projects or international co-operations, single satellites of constellations, pico-, nano-, micro- or mini-satellites, developed by companies, research institutions or agencies. The main focus is on new missions to monitor our Earth’s resources (Part I), and the environment in which our Earth is emb- ded (Part II). Part III deals with distributed space systems, a unique feature of small satellites and in most cases impractical to do with large satellites. Here we concentrate on constellations of satellites with focus on future missions relying on co-operating satellites. For all the new developments and projects we need well e- cated specialists coming from the universities. Many universities included already the development and implementation of small satellites in their curriculum. The u- versity satellites chapter (Part IV) shows the high quality which is already reached by some of the universities worldwide.

Book Description
The Spitzer Space Observatory, originally known as the Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF), is the last of the four “Great Observatories”, which also include the Hubble Space Telescope, the Chandra X-ray Observatory, and the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. Developed over twenty years and dubbed the “Infrared Hubble", Spitzer was launched in the summer of 2003 and has since contributed significantly to our understanding of the universe. George Rieke played a key role in Spitzer and now relates the story of how that observatory was built and launched into space. Telling the story of this single mission within the context of NASA space science over two turbulent decades, he describes how, after a tortuous political trail to approval, Spitzer was started at the peak of NASA’s experiment with streamlining and downsizing its mission development process, termed “faster better cheaper.” Up to its official start and even afterward, Spitzer was significant not merely in terms of its scientific value but because it stood at the center of major changes in space science policy and politics. Through interviews with many of the project participants, Rieke reconstructs the political and managerial process by which space missions are conceived, approved, and developed. He reveals that by the time Spitzer had been completed, a number of mission failures had undermined faith in “faster-better-cheaper” and a more conservative approach was imposed. Rieke examines in detail the premises behind “faster better cheaper,” their strengths and weaknesses, and their ultimate impact within the context of NASA’s continuing search for the best way to build future missions. Rieke’s participant’s perspective takes readers inside Congress and NASA to trace the progress of missions prior to the excitement of the launch, revealing the enormously complex and often disheartening political process that needs to be negotiated. He also shares some of the new observations and discoveries made by Spitzer in just its first year of operation. As the only book devoted to the Spitzer mission, The Last of the Great Observatories is a story at the nexus of politics and science, shedding new light on both spheres as it contemplates the future of mankind’s exploration of the universe.
