Space flight is a comprehensive and innovative part of
technology. It encompasses many fields of technology. This
monograph presents a cross section of the total field of expertise
that is called space flight .
It provides insight into the design, construction and analysis
aspects of spacecraft. Spacecraft includes satellites as well as
launch vehicles, with a distinction between manned or unmanned. The
International Space Station (ISS), Russian
MIR, the American shuttle and the European Spacelab are examples
of manned space flight, whereas communication satellites for radio
and television and meteorological satellites are examples of
unmanned space flight.
The Emphasis of this book is put on unmanned space flight,
particularly on the construction of spacecraft rather than the
construction of launch vehicles. The nature of the satellite is
dependent on the task that is set for that satellite."
