Sinossi

Editors Bruno (aerospace engineering, U. of Rome) and Accettura (business operations manager, Arianespace) and their roughly 20 co-contributors detail the state of propulsion technologies as they are expected to be by 2020. Commissioned by the European Space Agency, the book proceeds through the concept, associated technologies, and development status of each technology--with market and feasibility discussions when appropriate. The chapters are organized in a logical fashion and discuss existing work done on liquid rocket engines and then delve into future technologies and systems, such as superconductivity applied to electric propulsion, ion engines, solar sails, laser propulsion, and nuclear propulsion. Numerous graphs and illustrations support the text. The book will interest any professionals affiliated with the field of propulsion. While it contains a considerable amount of technical information and discussion, the text is clearly-written enough to interest general audience readers with an interest in aerospace technology.
