Fundamentals of Space Systems

Klappentext Fundamentals of Space Systems was developed to satisfy two objectives: the first is to provide a text suitable for use in an advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate course in both space systems engineering and space system design. The second is to be a primer and reference book for spaceprofessionals wishing to broaden their capabilities to develop! manage the development! or operate space systems. The authors of the individual chapters are practicing engineers that have had extensive experience in developing sophisticated experimental and operational spacecraft systems in additionto having experience teaching the subject material. The text presents the fundamentals of all the subsystems of a spacecraft missions and includes illustrative examples drawn from actual experience to enhance the learning experience. It included a chapter on each of the relevant major disciplinesand subsystems including space systems engineering! space environment! astrodynamics! propulsion and flight mechanics! attitude determination and control! power systems! thermal control! configuration management and structures! communications! command and telemetry! data processing! embedded flightsoftware! survuvability and reliability! integration and test! mission operations! and the initial conceptual design of a typical small spacecraft mission. Zusammenfassung Suitable for undergraduate or graduate courses in space systems engineering or space system design, this book is useful as a reference for space professionals. It aims to present the material in a manner that benefits from the authors' experience as practicing engineers with experience in developing operational spacecraft systems.
