En savoir plus sur le livre

The third edition of this essential text in spacecraft and satellite engineering has been thoroughly revised to reflect the latest technological advancements and developments in space activities. Each chapter has been updated by expert engineers, focusing on the spacecraft bus rather than the payload. The book covers the fundamentals of spacecraft engineering, starting with system-level issues like environment, mission analysis, and system engineering, and then delves into the core subsystems essential for spacecraft design—mechanical, electrical, propulsion, thermal, and control systems. This quantitative approach is enhanced by a focus on the interactions between these elements, which significantly impact spacecraft systems design. Notably, the revised edition includes a new chapter on small satellite engineering and applications, contributed by recognized experts, offering insights into small satellite systems. Additionally, the mission analysis chapter has been expanded to address aero-manoeuvring, constellation design, and small body missions. This comprehensive resource serves as an invaluable textbook for aerospace engineering and design students, while also being essential reading for spacecraft engineers, designers, and research scientists. It provides crucial insights for spacecraft manufacturers and agencies worldwide.
