Human Supervisory Control of Automated Systems discusses elements of the interactions between humans and machines. These elements include: assignment of roles and authority; tradeoffs between human control and human monitoring; and human intervention in automatic processes. Further topics comprise: performance, optimization and social implications of the system; enhanced human interfaces; decision aiding; and automated alterting systems. Topics refer to applications in aerospace, industrial and transportation systems.

Ebook for aspiring drone-builders of all stripes will appreciate this book, as it covers many different areas of building your own drone projects, including not only electronics, but motors, airframe-building techniques, and tools.

This resource, "Center of Gravity Activity" is included in Lesson 2 Control Surfaces which is a part of Unit 12 Control Surfaces included in ASA - Course 1 of the Aerospace & Mechanical Engineering subject area.

The long journey to Mars through the harsh environment of space confronts the Curiosity navigation team with a long list of challenges to get the spacecraft safely to its destination.

Curiosity will be a rolling geology lab on Mars. See how engineers take a soil sample using her stunt double.

Mars Science Lab mission's Curiosity rover is playing the role of stunt double for NASA astronauts, as it monitors radiation levels on its journey to Mars. Curiosity is equipped with a Radiation Assessment Detector (RAD) which was turned on shortly after launch and is experiencing deep-space radiation storms in the same way that a real astronaut would.

Team members share the challenges of Curiosity's final minutes to landing on the surface of Mars.

Landing a spacecraft on Mars is one of the trickiest things we do. This 60-second video explains how it’s done, and the three landing systems we use at the Red Planet.

Landing the Curiosity rover on Mars is the most difficult and nail-biting part of the whole mission. See just how hard it is to land on Mars in this 60-second video.

This guide will teach you how to fly a quadcopter (or any other multirotor drone), step-by-step.

Mars Science Laboratory engineers have a dress rehearsal for Curiosity's landing day on the Red Planet.

This NASA video segment explores how Newton's third law of motion applies to aerospace. An instructor at NASA's National Test Pilot School defines the third law and explains how a jet engine works to move an aircraft forward. There is also a discussion about the four forces involved in flying an aircraft. This resource, "Newtons Third Law Video" is included in Lesson 4 Newton's Third Law Applied which is a part of Unit 04 Newton's Laws and Aerospace Application included in ASA - Course 1 of the Aerospace & Mechanical Engineering subject area.

This resource, "Lift Equation Activity" is included in Lesson 2 Theories and Factors Affecting Lift which is a part of Unit 08 Aircraft Forces - Lift and Weight included in ASA - Course 1 of the Aerospace & Mechanical Engineering subject area.

NASA engineers take the Curiosity test rover to California's Mojave desert to learn how to drive on Martian sand dunes.

Mission team members share their excitement and reflections on the launch of the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity rover.

Danielle Roosa, granddaughter of Apollo 14 astronaut Stuart Roosa, demonstrates NASA and Microsoft's free Kinect interactive Xbox video game, 'Mars Rover Landing.' The new game lets players try their skill at landing the Curiosity rover on Mars. The game is available free of charge in the Xbox Live Marketplace and Kinect Central.

This resource, "Wind Tunnel NASA video" is included in Lesson 2 Wind Tunnels which is a part of Unit 11 Airfoils, Wings, and Wind Tunnels included in ASA - Course 1 of the Aerospace & Mechanical Engineering subject area.
