Interior Space: a Visual Exploration of the International Space Station

Photographs by Paolo Nespoli and Roland Miller

By: Paolo Nespoli,Roland Miller

Unseen images of the International Space Station, untenanted and eerie: the legacy of humanity's fragile foothold in space On November 2 2020, NASA celebrates the 20th anniversary of continuous human habitation in space of the International Space Station. In Interior Space, American photographer Roland Miller and Italian astronaut and photographer Paolo Nespoli offer an in-depth portrait of the ISS, creating amazing unpeopled images of the interior of the ISS for the first time. As internationally acclaimed scholars of space archaeology Alice Gorman and Justin St. P. Walsh write in their essays, the ISS speaks not only of who we are and will be, but also of who we were. In 2024 the ISS will be abandoned; in 2028 it will be destroyed. This book provides us with an eerie account of what will remain in the space after our passing. Italian-born astronaut Paolo Nespoli(born 1957) spent 313 days in space. After a career in the military, he earned a M.Sc. in Aerospace Engineering, then joined the European Space Agency spending time in Europe, the US and Russia. In 2007 he flew on the Space Shuttle and then, in 2010 to 2011 and 2017, he flew again to the International Space Station with the Russian Soyuz. He retired in 2018 from the astronaut corps launching a career as an international public speaker. Chicago-born photographer Roland Miller(born 1958) taught photography at Brevard Community College in Cocoa, Florida, for 14 years, where he visited many nearby NASA launch sites. He is the author of the acclaimed book Abandoned in Place: Preserving America's Space History, documenting deactivated and repurposed space launch and test facilities around the US. In 2017 he started the project Interior Space. His work is held at the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago and at the NASA Art Collection in Washington, DC.

Innovative Hand Exoskeleton Design for Extravehicular Activities in Space

By: Pierluigi Freni,Eleonora Marina Botta,Luca Randazzo,Paolo Ariano

Environmental conditions and pressurized spacesuits expose astronauts to problems of fatigue during lengthy extravehicular activities, with adverse impacts especially on the dexterity, force and endurance of the hands and arms. A state-of-the-art exploration in the field of hand exoskeletons revealed that available products are unsuitable for space applications because of their bulkiness and mass. This book proposes a novel approach to the development of hand exoskeletons, based on an innovative soft robotics concept that relies on the exploitation of electroactive polymers operating as sensors and actuators, on a combination of electromyography and mechanomyography for detection of the user’s will and on neural networks for control. The result is a design that should enhance astronauts’ performance during extravehicular activities. In summary, the advantages of the described approach are a low-weight, high-flexibility exoskeleton that allows for dexterity and compliance with the user’s will.

The Emerging Science of Homeopathy

Complexity, Biodynamics, and Nanopharmacology

By: Paolo Bellavite,Andrea Signorini

In this updated reissue of their classic Homeopathy: A Frontier in Medical Science, Italian physicians Paolo Bellavite and Andrea Signorini thoroughly examine previous and current literature on the science of homeopathy in order to discover answers to the elemental questions about homeopathy. Bellavite and Signorini engage in a fascinating discussion of the biophysics of water, biological effects of electomagnetic fields, chaos theory, and fractals.

LUNA? Sì, ci siamo andati!

By: Paolo Attivissimo

Siamo davvero andati sulla Luna? Questo libro esamina i dubbi più frequenti riguardanti le missioni Apollo che portarono l'uomo sulla Luna fra il 1969 e il 1972 e li chiarisce, smontando una per una le presunte prove presentate da chi afferma che si trattò invece di una colossale messinscena. Ma l'esplorazione delle tesi alternative è anche uno spunto per raccontare l'epopea della corsa alla Luna, presentandone aspetti pressoché sconosciuti al grande pubblico, come il progetto lunare sovietico, i disastri sfiorati ma taciuti e le foto di Playboy portate di nascosto sulla Luna. Per smontare dubbi e deliri, onorare coraggio e ingegno.
