商品簡介
This introduction to the field of space transportation system engineering and management sacrifices depth of treatment, particularly in the design disciplines, for breadth. The book covers the Space Shuttle as a pioneering harbinger of reusable space transportation systems, launch vehicle operations and support systems, the cost estimation process for launch vehicles, the design optimization procedure, the multitude of technologies that underlie development of a space transportation system, and various management disciplines. The companion CD-ROM contains the text, additional oversize figures, and software for mission and life cycle cost analysis of space transportation systems. Annotation c.
