Spacecraft Systems Engineering (Aerospace Series)

This is one of many sources I am investing in as reference for another body of writing. This piece of writing is top notch, expert technical writing. It is not exactly light reading but as a layman on space technology, it is also very easy for someone like myself to consume the subject matter. Solid quality writing with many diagrams and photos. Only started skimming through some sections but the table of contents and the breakdown of the sections covers all the broad areas you would expect from propulsion to Thermal Control, Telemetry, Electrical Power Systems, etc, in self-contained sections.

An exceptional text! Far reaching and comprehensive. Extremely well written and edited. One of the finer, more informative and interesting reads I have come across in a long time. Well worth the cost and certainly worthy of a second review of many of the topics covered. It has garnered a place on my bookshelf for many years to come. A tip of the hat and kudos to the authors!

Well written expand my knowledge.

The Spacecraft Systems Engineering, 4th edition, is one of the better books I have read so far on this subject. The strong points are clarity, subject matter coverage, and updated information. All the areas of spacecraft systems engineering are covered at an intermediate level of theory and mathematical formulation. One area that is slightly lacking, and can use more detail is the human space flight vehicle e.g., the NASA Orion spacecraft (renamed as MPCV), otherwise a very good and practical book for a spacecraft systems engineer.

It has a very wide and detailed coverage. Excellent to get a general perspective on systems engineering, specially as applied to earth orbiting satelites and probes.

As an engineer designing systems for spacecraft I found this book excellent and a really good read. Highly recommended and tons less expensive than most real books on spacecraft design.

Excellent transaction No problem of any kind All as advertised Recommended Would buy again Rated A+

Excellent overview of all subsystems.

the material in the book covers every aspect of spacecraft. very informative with good references

Bought this for my son during his A-levels as he wanted to pursue aerospace engineering at university. It is a brilliant book, but not for beginners. Think college level textbook. That said, my son started digging into equations and systems he previously didn't even know existed. He's calling it a 'forever on my bookshelf' book. I can dig that. If you or a loved one is interested in spacecraft and engineering, I can't recommend this highly enough.

Livre à peine reçu, je l'ai un peu parcouru, il a l'air très complet. Par contre la qualité de la reliure laisse un peu à désirer, pas sur qu'elle tienne la durée...

This was a very good book.

Manuale di riferimento per il sistemista di ambito spaziale. Tratta ogni sottosistema in maniera dettagliata. A causa spesso di una carenza nei tecnicismi, non è tuttavia un sostituto dello Smad per l'ingegnere spaziale, ma resta comunque un ottimo manuale col quale affiancarlo. Ottimo stato di consegna.
