Hello! I am a STEM educator, and I am running customly-designied short courses in a private high school. So far, I taught a rocket science 101 course, hydraulic mechanisms.
Next year I would like to teach a course on planets of solar system, but I prefer to base it on material from books. Can you recommend sci-pop and textbooks on planetary science about Earth and Solar system planets.
I'm browsing for some space- and engineering- related books and I noticed how quite vast majority is coming from the US. Are there any good books written about ESA, their projects or just people who worked there? Topics: general engineering, space exploration and space programs.
I am currently learning to code for the first time in my life, finally understanding how it actually works. I am doing projects in C/C++ on Arduino and I recently came across a bunch of videos reviewing the NASA's "Power of 10" rule, set of requirements on how they write software for their missions. It got me really interested and for the past week I've been just chating with AI about how to write my arduino projects' code according to those guidelines.
But frankly I don't find AI reliable for this task so I was wondering if there's any books covering this topic? I would like the one that explains C/C++ and preferrably how it's done for aerospace industry, but generally for ebedded systems would also be interesting for me to check out. I'd appreciate recommendations.
