Bøger i Space Technology Library serien

With the second edition of Space Mission Analysis and Design, two changes have been introduced in the Space Technology Library. Books which are not a part of the Space Technology Series, but which also represent a substantial contribution to the space technology literature, will still be published in the Space Technology Library.

The goal of this book is to allow you to begin with a "blank sheet of paper" and design a space mission to meet a set of broad, often poorly defined, objectives. This book was written by a group of senior engineers with over 800 years of collective space experience.

Draws on leading aerospace experts to carry readers through mission design, from orbit selection to ground ops. This title provides emphasis on small spacecraft design and the cost-reduction process, and includes details on multi-satellite manufacturing, space computers, payload design and autonomous systems.

This book explores the interaction of technical and non-technical forces influencing the definition of a space system. Coverage includes the entire system: space and ground segments and mission objectives, cost, risk and mission success probabilities.

Space activities are currently in a transitional phase: the shift from publicly financed to private activities is a result of reduced public funding and increased commercial space opportunities.

Spaceflight Life Support and Biospherics is the introduction to space life support systems and artificial ecosystems that has so far been lacking.

This book reviews the principle and rationale for using artificial gravity during space missions, and describes the current options proposed, including a short-radius centrifuge contained within a spacecraft.

The inclusion of historical cases is possible, thanks to the availability of sufficiently detailed descriptions for examination in terms of the grounded theory principles.

The forces applied to a spacecraft can result in the development of torques that influence attitude motion and the effects of the most important of these are described in terms of equilibrium positions, periodic motions, steady-state and transient motions.

This book reviews the principle and rationale for using artificial gravity during space missions, and describes the current options proposed, including a short-radius centrifuge contained within a spacecraft.

This textbook introduces the theories and practical procedures used in planetary spacecraft navigation.

This book analyzes the multitude of psychosocial challenges facing future space explorers, and presents new empirical research on topics ranging from simulation studies of commercial spaceflights to the psychological benefits of viewing Earth from space.

Beginning with factors that set space programs apart from other management challenges, this book uses theory and example of real programs worldwide to identify the tools needed to manage large, complex space programs in both government and commercial settings.
