Recensione

'In this book, four authors with extensive experience of space instrumentation provide an overview of the field and practical advice on how to build space instruments ... [contains] a level of practical detail not often seen in books on spacecraft engineering and is most welcome ... In summary, this is an excellent book covering the field in depth and includes extensive practical advice which can only come from those with many years of hand-on experience.' Colin R. McInnes, The Times Higher Education Supplement

'... the book does provide a valuable contribution to the literature, principally for the experimental scientist, working within the broad remit of space physics, whose background in engineering is limited. The book fills a long outstanding omission from the available literature.' Professor J. Stark, Het Ingenieursblad

'... a very concise and complete overview ... a very helpful guide during the early stages of the design but also the more experienced reader will find the sections outside his/her field of competence very instructive.' Space Research Organisation of the Netherlands

Descrizione del libro

An informative account of the design of instruments used in rockets and spacecraft. After introducing the basic principles, the book describes mechanical, structural, thermal and electronic design, stress analysis and multilayer insulation. Following chapters discuss two-dimensional sensor systems, mechanisms, the structure of space optics, project management and financial constraints.
