Opis

This third edition of Space mission analysis and design carries on the tradition of the first two editions of providing a practical handbook for space mission engineering' - the process of defining mission parameters and refining requirements to meet the often fuzzy objectives of a space mission at minimum cost and risk. SMAD III both updates the technology and provides a greater emphasis on the design of smaller spacecraft and the process of reducing cost. It hasbeen expanded to include more detail of multi-satellite manufacturing and the design and selection of constellation parameters. The discussion of space computers has also been expanded and revised.
