Synopsis
Through offering insight into the nature of the space environment and how spacecraft interact with it, this book presents a singular account of the environmental effects that can damage or cause poor performance of orbiting spacecraft. The discussion covers design modifications aimed at eliminating effects as solar absorptance increases caused by self-contamination, materials erosion by atomic oxygen, electrical discharges due to spacecraft charging, degradation of electrical circuits by radiation, and bombardment by micrometeorites. The book thus bridges the gap between studies of the space environment, as performed by space physicists, and spacecraft design engineering, as practised by aerospace engineers.

Review
"This book ... successfully bridges the divide between the space physicists' and the spacecraft design engineers' views of the space environment. It is a much needed, and timely book with quite simple theoretical discussions."--Journal of Atmospheric and Terrestrial Physics
