Spacecraft Systems Engineering

Spacecraft Systems Engineering

This fourth edition of the bestselling Spacecraft Systems Engineering title provides the reader with comprehensive coverage of the design of spacecraft and the implementation of space missions, across a wide spectrum of space applications and space science. The text has been thoroughly revised and updated, with each chapter authored by a recognized expert in the field.  Three chapters ? Ground Segment, Product Assurance and Spacecraft System Engineering ? have been rewritten, and the topic of Assembly, Integration and Verification has been introduced as a new chapter, filling a gap in previous editions. This edition addresses ?front-end system-level issues? such as environment, mission analysis and system engineering, but also progresses to a detailed examination of subsystem elements which represents the core of spacecraft design. This includes mechanical, electrical and thermal aspects, as well as propulsion and control. This quantitative treatment is supplemented by an emphasis on the interactions between elements, which deeply influences the process of spacecraft design. Adopted on courses worldwide, Spacecraft Systems Engineering is already widely respected by students, researchers and practising engineers in the space engineering sector. It provides a valuable resource for practitioners in a wide spectrum of disciplines, including system and subsystem engineers, spacecraft equipment designers, spacecraft operators, space scientists and those involved in related sectors such as space insurance. In summary, this is an outstanding resource for aerospace engineering students, and all those involved in the technical aspects of design and engineering in the space sector.

Review

Theumming Up is recommended for upper-division undergraduates. There is a choice. On 1 August 2012

“I highly recommend the fantastic and landmark book Spacecraft Systems Engineering, Fourth Edition edited by Peter Fortescue, Graham Swinerd, and John Stark, to any graduate and undergraduate students, engineering and science faculty members, professional engineers, space scientists, business leaders, and government policy makers who are serious about the design, manufacturing, and implementation of complete spacecraft systems. This book provides not only the basics of fully integrated spacecraft systems, but the advanced knowledge required to implement a complete spectrum of space mission applications as well.” (Blog Business World, 19 February 2012) –This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

About the Author

The doctor is Dr Graham Swinerd. He is a Reader in Astronautics in the School of Engineering Sciences at the University ofSouthampton. He was employed by British Aerospace Space Systems. His research interests include control and space systems engineering.

Professor John Stark. Professor of Aerospace Engineering at QMUL from 1992 to 1992. This followed previous appointments at UMIST as a lecturer, as a senior lecturer, and as an executive post at BAe Space Systems. From 1992 to 1999 and 2003 to date, he has been the Head of Department at QMUL. He teaches courses in the principles of space mission engineering, as well as in the areas of space flight design and direct printing.

Peter Fortescue is a person. In 1989 he retired as a Professor in the Department of Engineering Sciences.
