Description
This volume argues that the most important aspect of spacecraft system design is the ability to identify which aspects of the mission and which elements of the design influence the type of satellite and meet specific mission requirements. Spacecraft system design is influenced by the nature of payloads, commercial and political influences, and reliability factors. The complex interactions between craft subsystems are also considered.
