Synopsis
This practical handbook for Space Mission Engineering draws on leading aerospace experts to carry readers through mission design, from orbit selection to ground ops. SMAD III updates the technology, provides greater emphasis on small spacecraft design and the cost-reduction process, and includes more detail on multi-satellite manufacturing, space computers, payload design and autonomous systems.

But as a reference volume for system engineers and satellite designers it would appear to be an invaluable collection of data. The Aeronautical Journal
Synopsis
This textbook for advanced undergraduate or introductory graduate courses, or reference for those working in space technology, allows readers (with a general knowledge of physics, math, and basic engineering) to begin with a "blank sheet of paper" and design a space mission to meet a set of broad, often poorly defined, objectives defining the missi

Wertz as President of Microcosm, Dr. Wertz has technical and management responsibility for work in Microcosm's main business areas: space mission engineering, low cost space launch systems, autonomous navigation and orbit control, satellite orbit and attitude systems, space sensor design, and space software development. Under the direction of Dr. Wertz, Microcosm has become a principal creator of practical solutions to reduce both space mission cost and launch cost. In addition to his management functions, Dr. Wertz continues a technical leadership role and remains an internationally recognized authority in orbit and attitude determination and control systems, satellite autonomy and sensor measurement theory, and space mission cost reduction. His experience includes virtually all mission phases: concept exploration, hardware design and development (both at the system and component levels), integration and test, launch support, and mission operations. Wiley J. Larson is the editor of the Space Technology Series. This famous and practical handbook for Space Mission Engineering draws on leading aerospace experts to carry readers through mission design, from orbit selection to ground ops. SMAD addresses the technology, provides emphasis on small spacecraft design and the cost-reduction process, and includes detail on multi-satellite manufacturing, space computers, payload design and autonomous systems. The book is a comprehensive presentation of theory and practice, drawing on the insight and practical knowledge of leading experts from all segments of the aerospace community. Because of its practical orientation, useful data and formulas, and process tables which summarize the design methodology of all major mission elements, SMAD has become the most widely used volume in astronautics.
