Provides systems engineers and students with the breadth of coverage they need to understand the bus aspect rather than payload in spacecraft engineering. Early chapters examine satellites and the hostile environment in which they must operate. They address the dynamics of objects in space and relate the motion of the spacecraft to Earth. Middle chapters look at getting the spacecraft off the ground and its return through the atmosphere, the subsystems onboard the spacecraft, and communications links. The final chapters introduce electro-magnetic compatibility, which must be understood if all the spacecraft systems are to work harmoniously, and product assurance with respect to the viability and longevity of the systems being used.
