Practical Spacecraft Systems Engineering by Reyner Daniel (6 results)

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - A spacecraft is built once, launched once, and then trusted to work for years in a place no technician can ever reach; which is why every gram, every watt, and every decision has to be right before it leaves the ground.Many engineers and students master individual subjects (orbits, control, electronics, heat transfer) only to find that real spacecraft work lives in the connections between them. Theory texts treat topics in isolation, and parts catalogs say little about how a choice in one subsystem drives mass, power, and risk across the whole vehicle. What is missing is the systems view: how to size a subsystem, budget the resources it consumes, trade it against alternatives, and prove it will survive launch and space.This handbook was written to close that gap. It treats the spacecraft as a single integrated system and follows a mission in its natural order; from the environment and orbit that drive the design, through every major subsystem, to assembly, test, and operations. Each chapter builds from fundamentals to practical use, showing the working habits of the discipline: budgets that must close, margins that protect a design, and trade studies that turn opinion into numbers.Inside this handbook you will: - Understand how one subsystem decision ripples through mass, power, thermal, and reliability across the vehicle- Build and read the technical budgets; mass, power, link, and pointing; that decide whether a design is possible- Size propulsion, attitude control, power, thermal, communications, and data handling from real mission needs- Trace requirements from mission objectives down to hardware, and verify them with evidence- Plan verification and testing, and read a design across the operating modes where conflicts appear- Keep a consistent framework, notation, and reference data close at hand during real projectsIt is written for advanced engineering students entering the field and for practicing engineers, specialists, and technical managers who need a dependable working reference; anyone who must not only understand a subsystem but size it, integrate it, and defend it in a review.GRAB A COPY of this handbook and begin building the systems-level understanding needed to design, verify, and operate a modern spacecraft with greater clarity and confidence.…
