Spacecraft Systems Engineering: 25 (Aerospace Series)

This is one of many sources I am investing in as reference for another body of writing. This piece of writing is top notch, expert technical writing. It is not exactly light reading but as a layman on space technology, it is also very easy for someone like myself to consume the subject matter. Solid quality writing with many diagrams and photos. Only started skimming through some sections but the table of contents and the breakdown of the sections covers all the broad areas you would expect from propulsion to Thermal Control, Telemetry, Electrical Power Systems, etc, in self-contained sections.

the material in the book covers every aspect of spacecraft. very informative with good references

Bought this for my son during his A-levels as he wanted to pursue aerospace engineering at university. It is a brilliant book, but not for beginners. Think college level textbook. That said, my son started digging into equations and systems he previously didn't even know existed. He's calling it a 'forever on my bookshelf' book. I can dig that. If you or a loved one is interested in spacecraft and engineering, I can't recommend this highly enough.

Livre à peine reçu, je l'ai un peu parcouru, il a l'air très complet. Par contre la qualité de la reliure laisse un peu à désirer, pas sur qu'elle tienne la durée...

This was a very good book.
