Opis

Aerospace Meteorology is important for the success of essentially all aerospace vehicles. This book shares some points made on this subject relative to aerospace operations and the background research that contributed to the development of aerospace meteorology characteristics used in preparation of inputs for use in the design and development of aerospace vehicles and associated supporting elements. Aerospace meteorology is intrinsically iterative across the whole life cycle of an aerospace vehicle. Technical excellence is the key to successful applications of aerospace meteorology and, thus, successful aerospace vehicle operations. Examples were taken mainly out of NASA/TM-2008-215633. This book summarizes over 50 years of NASA natural terrestrial (0-90 km altitude) environment experience and support to the engineering and managerial community for use in the design, development, trade-studies, testing and launch of aerospace vehicles. The applications presented here can be applied to any aerospace vehicle, which will need to consider them in its design & development stages.
