Product Description
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. |

SMAD Provides an Overview of Satellite Design by Mark Infante  5 Stars
April 05, 2009
SMAD takes you all the way through the process of designing a satellite. Every subsystem is covered and there are equations to do calculations throughout. It's also written in a language that anyone with only an introduction into the space world would be able to understand.

space mission analysis and design by Lawrence Rosenman 3 Stars
February 25, 2008
The third edition falls short of the information provided in the second edition. The third edition lacks the detail on thermal radiation and conditions that was included in the second edition . ( see chapter 11.5). It appears to me that the 3rd edition is more a generalization and discussion, rather than providing a detail method of analysis for a space mission. If possible , I would like to return my copy of the 3rd edition for a copy of the second edition. Thank you. L. Rosenman

| The Space Environment: Implications for Spacecraft Design
by Alan C. Tribble (Author)
The breakup of the Space Shuttle Columbia as it reentered Earth's atmosphere on February 1, 2003, reminded the public--and NASA--of the grave risks posed to spacecraft by everything from insulating foam to space debris. Here, Alan Tribble presents a singular, up-to-date account of a wide range of less conspicuous but no less consequential environmental effects that can damage or cause poor performance of orbiting spacecraft. Conveying a wealth of insight into the nature of the space environment...
