This book provides an informative account of the design of
instruments used in rockets and spacecraft. The volume begins with
a chapter introducing the basic principles of designing for the
space environment. Following chapters discuss mechanical,
structural, thermal and electronic design including the problems
that are frequently encountered in the testing and verification of
spacecraft subsystems. Important topics are described, including
stress analysis, multilayer insulation, two-dimensional sensor
systems, mechanisms, the structure of space optics, and project
management and control. A final chapter looks towards future
developments of space instrument design and addresses issues
arising from financial constraints. The book contains lists of
symbols, acronyms and units and a comprehensive reference list.
Worked examples are found throughout the text. This volume is
suitable for researchers and engineers in spacecraft and space
instrument design. It will also be valuable to graduate students of
physics, space science, spacecraft engineering and astronautics.
