This book is for scientists and engineers involved in the
definition and development of space science missions. The processes
that such missions follow, from the proposal to a space agency, to
a successful mission completion, are numerous. The rationale behind
approval of a mission, its definition and the payload that it will
include are topics that cannot be presented in undergraduate
courses. This book contains contributions from experts who are
involved in today's space missions at various levels. Chapters
cover mission phases and implementation, launchers and cruise
strategies, including gravity assist maneuvers and different thrust
scenarios. The payload needed for remote sensing of the Universe at
various wavelengths and for in-situ measurements is described in
detail, and particular attention is paid to the most recent
planetary landers. Whilst the book concentrates on the ESA program
Cosmic Visions, its content is relevant to space science missions
at all space agencies.
