Automated Rendezvous and Docking of Spacecraft

Wigbert Fehse

2003

This definitive reference for space engineers provides an overview of the major issues governing approach and mating strategies, and system concepts for rendezvous & docking/berthing (RVD/B). These concerns are addressed and explained in a way that aerospace engineers, students and even newcomers to the field can acquire a basic understanding of RVD/B.

Mission Jupiter: The Spectacular Journey of the Galileo Spacecraft

Fischer, Daniel

2001

We are at the dawn of a new era in the study of space, all thanks to the Galileo space probe. Mission Jupiter brings us the exciting story of the Galileo mission to investigate Jupiter. The noted astronomer Daniel Fischer, co-author of Hubble: A New Window to the Universe and Hubble Revisited: New Images from the Discovery Machine, weaves together the many disparate facts learned about Jupiter and its satellites into a coherent description of this most fascinating planet, after stepping back to review the history of planetary exploration. Mission Jupiter tells the entire story of Galileo: a behind-the-scenes look at its difficult course from idea to reality; its launch; the problems it encountered early on and how these were resolved; and finally, what will become of the probe. Along the way, the author describes what wee learned about Jupiter, including what the Jovian atmosphere is really like, and the peculiar reality of the planet's magnetic field. The story of the journey to Jupiter is combined with interesting details about Galileo's capacities and a graphic description of the solar system, with an entertaining episode on how Galileo would judge the chances of finding life on Earth. The book concludes with a look to the future, closing on the Cassini probe to Saturn, launched just last year. Beautifully illustrated and well written, Mission Jupiter shows us space exploration at its best and conveys the essential science clearly and vividly. '

Recent Advances in Gossamer Spacecraft

Not Listed

The pace of progress in gossamer technology has been strong since the publication of Gossamer Spacecraft: Membrane and Inflatable Structures Technology for Space Applications in 2001. Solar sails are an obvious and public evidence of this trend. But there have been many other advances as well, in structures, materials, testing, and systems engineering. Recent Advance in Gossamer Spacecraft focuses on many of these, either as gossamer technology that was not sufficiently represented in the previous volume, or that has had significant growth and activity in the intervening years. The most accurate and up-to-date information has been assembled, reviewed, and presented by an outstanding group of experts.

Spacecraft Dynamics and Control

Marcel J. Sidi

2000

Used increasingly in telecommunications, scientific research, surveillance, and meteorology, satellites rely heavily on complex onboard control systems. This book explains the basic theory of spacecraft dynamics and control and the practical aspects of controlling a satellite. The emphasis is on analyzing and solving real-world engineering problems. Among the topics covered are orbital dynamics, attitude dynamics, gravity gradient stabilization, single and dual spin stabilization, attitude maneuvers, attitude stabilization, and structural dynamics and liquid sloshing.

SPACECRAFT MISSION DESIGN, SECOND EDITION

CHARLES BROWN

1998

Spacecraft Mission Design, Second Edition, takes the shortest route to practical understanding of mission design. It focuses on the most general and most practical tools needed for the early spacecraft design studies, including the principles of tw-body motion, definition of orbits, orbital maneuvers, and central body observation. The use of elementary mathematics majes this concise book ideal for upperclass college students, graduates, and practicing engineers or managers. There are enough worked examples that one can be self taught. This second edition includes astronomical reference material and sections on constellations, lunar trajectories, and cycler orbits. ORBWIN allows you to proceed directly from understanding intro professional work. it provides the accuracy, speed, and convenience of personal computing. it defines all orbital elements for any orbit, provides the parameters at any orbital point, calculates spacecraft horizon, instrument field of view, orbit perturbations, ground track, planetary ephemeris, conversion of Julian days, oblique triangel solutions, and propellant weight projections. Any major body in the solar system may be used as the central body. System Requirements: windows 3.11 or higher, 8 Mb RAM 3.5 inch disk drive
