Kane T.R., Likins P.W., Levinson D.A. Spacecraft Dynamics

Publisher: Springer in association with Praxis Publishing. 2006. 487 pages. Language: English. In Future Spacecraft Propulsion Systems the authors demonstrate the need to break free from the old established concepts of expendable rockets, using chemical propulsion, and to develop new breeds of launch vehicle capable of both launching payloads into orbit at dramatically reduced cost, and for sustained operations in low-Earth orbit. The next steps...

Springer, 2009. 440 p. ISBN:3540895094 Deep Space Craft opens the door to interplanetary flight. It looks at this world from the vantage point of real operations on a specific mission, and follows a natural trail from the day-to-day working of this particular spacecraft, through the functioning of all spacecraft to the collaboration of the various disciplines to produce the results for which a spacecraft is designed. These results are of course...

Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 2009, 353 pages This book offers for the first time a consistent presentation on the application of functional system simulation in spacecraft development - covering the entire process from spacecraft design to final verification. The book treats the diverse simulator types and their application in the subsequent steps of a spacecraft engineering process. Furthermore it covers the topics of spacecraft equipment modeling...

AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics & Ast ), 2004. - 678 p. Much has changed, both in the space community and in the larger world, in the years since the first edition of this classic, best-selling book appeared. While there is now a huge collection of core knowledge, tutorial material, mathematical "applets, " and design data available about spacecraft systems engineering which did not exist when the first edition was published, the se...

Springer, 2011. - 470 p. - ISBN: 1441978976 Soviet Robots in the Solar System provides a history of the Soviet robotic lunar and planetary exploration program from its inception, with the attempted launch of a lunar impactor on September 23, 1958, to the last launch in the Russian national scientific space program in the 20th Century, Mars 96, on November 16, 1996. This title makes a unique contribution to understanding the scientific and engine...

World Scientific Publishing Company, 2003. - 490 p. While there are numerous books and other literature on spacecraft electrical power systems, there are no comprehensive single references describing the enabling technologies used in spacecraft power systems. This book fills that need. Rather than describing specific power systems used in various space flights, Spacecraft Power Technologies details three of the most commonly used types of energy...

Springer, 2011. 377 p. ISBN:1441993010 Proceedings of the 29t h IMAC, A Conference on Structural Dynamics, 2011 Advanced Aerospace Applications, Volume 1. Proceedings of the 29th IMAC, A Conference and Exposition on Structural Dynamics, 2011, the first volume of six from the Conference, brings together 32 contributions to this important area of research and engineering. The collection presents early findings and case studies on fundamental and...

Wiley, 2011, 206 pages The aerospace community has long recognized and repeatedly emphasizes the importance of reliability for space systems. Despite this, little has been published in book form on the topic. Spacecraft Reliability and Multi-state Failures addresses this gap in the literature, offering a unique focus on spacecraft reliability based on extensive statistical analysis of system and subsystem anomalies and failures. The authors p...

Cambridge University Press. 1997. Даются основные технические понятия по управлению космическими аппаратами. Автор делает ударение на практическую реализацию систем управления КА.

Wiley, 2011, 390 pages Advanced Control of Aircraft, Spacecraft and Rockets introduces the reader to the concepts of modern control theory applied to the design and analysis of general flight control systems in a concise and mathematically rigorous style. It presents a comprehensive treatment of both atmospheric and space flight control systems including aircraft, rockets (missiles and launch vehicles), entry vehicles and spacecraft (both orbit...
