Sommario/riassunto

This book provides a concise but broad overview of the engineering, science and flight history of planetary landers and atmospheric entry probes designed to explore the atmospheres and surfaces of other planets. It covers engineering aspects specific to such vehicles which are not usually treated in traditional spacecraft engineering texts. Examples are drawn from over thirty different lander and entry probe designs that have been used for lunar and planetary missions since the early 1960s. The authors provide detailed illustrations of many vehicle designs from different international space programs, and give basic information on their missions and payloads, irrespective of the mission's success or failure. Several missions are discussed in more detail to demonstrate the broad range of the challenges involved and the solutions implemented. This will form an important reference for professionals, academic researchers and graduate students involved in planetary science, aerospace engineering and space mission development.

Sommario/riassunto

Pourquoi et comment parler de « contrat » dans l’étude de la littérature ? Qu’implique le fait de définir l’échange littéraire en des termes issus



du vocabulaire de la philosophie éthique et du droit social ? Comment comprendre les expressions, couramment utilisées aujourd'hui, de « contrat de lecture », voire de contrat d’écriture ou de réécriture ? Faut-il maintenir la distinction entre « contrat fictionnel » et « contrat référentiel » dans l’analyse du roman ? En répondant à ces questions, les quinze auteurs de Littératures sous contrat mesurent la pertinence du modèle contractuel à sa capacité de rendre compte de certaines ambiguïtés constitutives de la littérature – française et européenne, du XVIIe à nos jours. Placée au carrefour des interrogations portant sur les instances d’auteur et de lecteur, sur la différenciation des genres, sur l’appropriation et la réception des textes, la notion de contrat est ici exploitée et contestée à la fois, explorée dans le cadre d’une appréhension rigoureuse et inquiète de l’échange littéraire.
