Space Mission Engineering: The New SMAD (Space Technology Library, Vol. 28) by 65 Authors from the Astronautics Community (PDF)

Description

Space Mission Engineering:The New SMAD is an entirely new approach to creating both a text and a practical engineering reference for space mission design. Just as space technology has advanced, the way we learn and work has changed dramatically in recent years. SME combines the best features of a traditional unified text and reference covering the entire field, an electronic version that does many of the calculations for you, and the web that allows regular updates and references to the vast literature base available online. Among the many features of this new approach are: Completely rewritten, updated, and expanded follow-on to the 3rd edition of Space Mission Analysis and Design, the most widely used text and reference in astronautics, covering a great many topics not previously covered, such as CubeSats, Inflatable Structures, Space Economics, End-of-Mission options, Space System Risk Analysis, and new, much more precise formulas for ground station and target coverage. Downloadable electronic spreadsheets for most of the numerical tables and plots in the book that let you, for example, calculate all of the critical parameters for orbits about the Sun, Moon, Earth, and any of the other planets, or even new planets, moons, or stars of your choosing. An annotated bibliography and references on the web that is updated as new references become available and that shows you where to get nearly all of the references with direct links for those available at no cost and where on the web to buy copyright books and professional papers not available for free. All of the cross referencing, careful definitions, and thoroughly explained equations that are the key ingredient of any high quality engineering text or reference, along with the wisdom and experience gained at substantial cost by some of most experienced and knowledgeable space system engineers in the world.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐What’s not to like ? It’s space!

⭐The best book on the market for space systems analysis and design. The database access that comes with the book is also excellent.

⭐There is no way this book is worth $200 and certainly not worth the current price of $450+. The images, tables and graphics are poor quality and little to no color for distinction. Some of them require a magnifying glass even with glasses. The text is poorly written and the nomenclature, reference designations in equations constantly changes from chapter to chapter. For the money i spent, there should have been a free searchable PDF or Kindle version at least. I recommend readers buying other books specific to the areas of interest. I could have bought 4 books for the price of this one. And had 4 searchable references i could have ready at my fingertips on all my devices.

⭐A must have for those working with space… some serious decisions in the “real world” are made using the steps described in this book

⭐useful

⭐Great comprehensive text, very dense and may require some outside knowledge. Ok as a reference book or as a primary textbook.

⭐Great book on spacecraft design. Has tons of examples.

⭐Condition was exactly as described. Content is good. Just right to start the new school year.

⭐All is in the title
