Condition: Aceptable. : Este libro es esencial para ingenieros que estudian y trabajan en el campo del diseño de naves espaciales. Se centra en el bus más que en la carga útil. Describe el funcionamiento de sistemas de naves espaciales de varios tipos (mecánicos, eléctricos, de propulsión, térmicos, de control, etc.), tanto a bordo como en tierra, junto con disciplinas esenciales que garantizan que funcionen de forma fiable y en armonía entre sí. El escenario se establece mediante una descripción de los entornos operativos de la nave espacial y del comportamiento dinámico fundamental que rige su trayectoria y su orientación. Esto se traduce en opciones que cumplen objetivos de misión específicos establecidos por la carga útil. Esta segunda edición es una actualización de la primera e incluye dos capítulos adicionales: uno sobre mecanismos y otro sobre ingeniería de sistemas, con ejemplos de aplicaciones a diferentes tipos de misión.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. 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. This new edition covers all the different areas of engineering required in the design and implementation of spacecraft and space missions. Detailing recent developments in space activities, all chapters have been thoroughly revised and updated in the areas of launch vehicles, structures, ground stations and mechanisms. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover, xiv + 444 pages, NOT ex-library. Book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This volume focuses on the evolution of the layered model of the clause, originally proposed by Simon C. Dik, and explores how this structure handles referentiality and pragmatic function. -- The primary concern of the book is the layered structure of the clause, which distinguishes between different levels of linguistic organisation: - The Predicate and Terms: The core semantic building blocks; - The Propositional Level: Dealing with the speaker's knowledge or mental representation; - The Illocutionary Level: Addressing the speech act and the interaction between speaker and addressee. The contributors examine how these layers interact with reference - the way language points to entities in the real or imagined world - and how grammatical operators function at different levels of this hierarchy. Key Thematic Sections: The book is organised into several areas of functional research: - Refining the Layered Model: Papers by scholars like Kees Hengeveld and Jan Nuyts propose modifications to the standard FG model, particularly concerning the distinction between semantic and pragmatic layers; - Reference and Term Structure: Discussions on how "terms" (noun phrases) refer to entities and the role of classifiers and definite articles within a functional framework; - Cross-Linguistic Perspectives: The volume includes analyses of diverse languages, including Danish, West Greenlandic, and Spanish, to test the universal applicability of the layered model; - Pragmatics and Discourse: Several essays explore how the layered structure accounts for focus, topic, and the speaker's subjective attitude. Published by John Benjamins, this collection is considered a milestone in the development of Functional Discourse Grammar. It moved the field beyond simple sentence analysis towards a more sophisticated understanding of how grammar reflects the "communicative intentions" of the speaker.
