Synopsis

ducing reliability, is as possible as it is important for the future of space exploration.

From the Back Cover

Reducing Space Mission Cost is the first complete treatment of the technology, process, and problems in the most critical area of modern spaceflight. The demand to reduce cost is unrelenting. This pioneering book addresses all aspects of this problem, including: technology and processes for reducing cost; cost reduction in mission engineering, spacecraft design, manufacture, launch, and operations; implementation methods and problems; the price of reducing cost; 10 detailed case studies of what works in practice in Science missions, Interplanetary probes, Communications spacecraft, and Test and Applications missions. This book is a follow-on to the now standard text and reference, Space Mission Analysis and Design, also edited by Drs. Wertz and Larson. It is required reading for professionals, students, and managers in astronautics or space sicences and managers or scientists involved in space experiments. This book shows that reducing space mission cost, without reducing reliability, is as possible as it is important for the future of space exploration.
