Description: "This third edition of Space Mission Analysis and Design, known as SMAD to its many friends, carries on the tradition of the first two editions of providing a practical handbook for Space Mission Engineering - the process of defining mission parameters and refining requirements to meet the often fuzzy objectives of a space mission at minimum cost and risk. The book is a comprehensive presentation of theory and practice, drawing on the insight and practical knowledge of leading experts from all segments of the aerospace community."--Jacket.
