The book addresses the overall integrated design aspects of a space
transportation system involving several disciplines like
propulsion, vehicle structures, aerodynamics, flight mechanics,
navigation, guidance and control systems, stage auxiliary systems,
thermal systems etc. and discusses the system approach for design,
trade off analysis, system life cycle considerations, important
aspects in mission management, the risk assessment, etc. There are
several books authored to describe the design aspects of various
areas, viz., propulsion, aerodynamics, structures, control, etc.,
but there is no book which presents space transportation system
(STS) design in an integrated manner. This book attempts to fill
this gap by addressing systems approach for STS design,
highlighting the integrated design aspects, interactions between
various subsystems and interdependencies. The main focus is towards
the complex integrated design to arrive at an optimum, robust and
cost effective space transportation system. The orbital mechanics
of satellites including different coordinate frames, orbital
perturbations and orbital transfers are explained. For launching
the satellites to meet specific mission requirements, viz.,
payload/orbit, design considerations, giving step by step procedure
are briefed. The selection methodology for launch vehicle
configuration, its optimum staging and the factors which influence
the vehicle performance are summarized. The influence of external,
internal and dynamic operating environments experienced by the
vehicle subsystems and the remedial measures needed are
highlighted. The mission design strategies and their influence on
the vehicle design process are elaborated. The various critical
aspects of STS subsystems like flight mechanics, propulsion,
structures and materials, thermal systems, stage auxiliary systems,
navigation, guidance and control and the interdependencies and
interactions between them are covered. The design guidelines,
complexity of the flight environment and the reentry dynamics for
the reentry missions are included. The book is not targeted as a
design tool for any particular discipline or subsystem. Some of the
design related equations or expressions are not attempted to derive
from the first principle as this is beyond the scope of this book.
However, the important analytical expressions, graphs and sketches
which are essential to provide in-depth understanding for the
design process as well as to understand the interactions between
different subsystems are appropriately included.

This book discusses the journey of Dr. K Kasturirangan, who shares
his experience during his long tenure at ISRO including the
Chairmanship of ISRO, subsequently membership of the Rajya Sabha,
the Planning Commission and many other responsibilities. Over the
past five decades of public and professional service to the nation,
Dr. Kasturirangan has graduated from a young researcher in
astrophysics working under Vikram Sarabhai to leading India's space
program (ISRO), being entrusted by five successive Prime Ministers,
besides dealing with several other domains of responsibilities
beyond space, all of which have significantly impacted India's
development. This book centers around select 12 public invited
lectures, Dr. Kasturirangan delivered ranging from developing
hi-tech space systems, to managing an organization as intricate as
ISRO which was guided by the wisdom of mentors, including Vikram
Sarabhai, M G K Menon, Satish Dhawan and U. R. Rao, to tackling
multi-faceted socio-economic issues, including India's nuclear
deal, report headed by him on the Western Ghats ecosystem, and the
new National Education Policy 2020. Scientists, historians, policy
makers, management strategists, journalists, or anyone with a keen
interest in understanding the processes behind such large-scale
science, technology and socio-economic endeavors - right from
planning, creating appropriate institutional mechanisms, working
with multiple stakeholders to ensure that these programs deliver
tangible benefits to society, articulating these benefits with
clarity to political leaders to assure public support - will find
this book deeply instructive and illuminating. It will be of
interest to the scientific, education and management community as
well as to policy makers and researchers affiliated with
multifaceted developmental issues.
