Handbook of Spacecraft Systems Engineering: Principles and Methods for Mission Design, Propulsion, Structures, Avionics, Guidance and Control, ... Communications, Integration, and Verification - Softcover
Synopsis
Understand the Spacecraft as a Complete Engineering System
A spacecraft is more than a collection of sophisticated components. Structures, propulsion, avionics, power, thermal control, communications, guidance, and payloads must operate together within demanding limits of mass, energy, data, pointing accuracy, reliability, and mission risk.
Handbook of Spacecraft Systems Engineering provides a practical, structured guide to the principles and methods behind spacecraft development—from early mission requirements and architecture through subsystem design, integration, verification, launch, and on-orbit operations.
Designed as both a technical learning resource and professional reference, this handbook connects engineering fundamentals with the methods used to evaluate design trades, manage interfaces and resource budgets, analyze performance, and verify an integrated spacecraft.
Inside, you'll discover how to:- Develop spacecraft requirements, architectures, interfaces, margins, and engineering trade studies
- Apply orbital mechanics and mission design to orbit selection, transfers, ground tracks, launch windows, and maneuvers
- Analyze chemical and electric propulsion, thrust, specific impulse, delta-V budgets, propellant requirements, and tank sizing
- Understand spacecraft structures, mechanisms, materials, loads, vibration, shock, and structural verification
- Explore avionics, command and data handling, flight computers, data buses, telemetry, fault management, and flight software
- Work with guidance, navigation, and control, attitude determination, sensors, actuators, reaction wheels, and pointing performance
- Evaluate electrical power systems, including solar arrays, batteries, distribution, redundancy, and power budgets
- Understand thermal management, heat transfer, passive and active control, modeling, and thermal testing
- Study spacecraft communications, antennas, RF systems, modulation, link budgets, ground stations, and data return
- Integrate payloads while managing mechanical, electrical, thermal, data, and alignment interfaces
- Navigate assembly, environmental testing, reliability, redundancy, risk management, and verification
- Follow launch, separation, commissioning, anomaly response, mission operations, and end-of-life planning
The handbook goes beyond theory with worked engineering examples, equations, defined variables, SI units, intermediate calculations, subsystem tables, design-trade data, and chapter-level key takeaways.
From Mission Requirements to Flight-Ready HardwareThe challenge of spacecraft engineering is not simply understanding individual subsystems—it is understanding how they interact. A change in payload power, for example, can affect thermal rejection, solar-array sizing, spacecraft mass, attitude dynamics, and mission performance. The handbook develops this systems-level perspective through shared mass, power, data, pointing, and thermal budgets.
Extensive reference material includes key equations, orbital mechanics formulas, spacecraft structural material properties, space-environment data, aerospace standards guidance, and worked problems with solutions.
Whether you are an aerospace engineering student, graduate student, spacecraft engineer, systems engineer, researcher, educator, or technical professional, this handbook provides an organized resource for understanding spacecraft architecture, subsystem design, engineering tradeoffs, integration, testing, verification, and operations.
Build the systems perspective needed to understand how spacecraft are designed, integrated, verified, and prepared for flight."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
