Soft Commutation Isolated DC-DC Converters (Power Systems)

Springer, 2018

This book describes the operation and analysis of soft-commutated isolated DC–DC converters used in the design of high efficiency and high power density equipment. It explains the basic principles behind first- and second-order circuits with power switches to enable readers to understand the importance of these converters in high...

Plasma Engineering: Applications from Aerospace to Bio and Nanotechnology

Academic Press, 2013

Plasma engineering applies the unique properties of plasmas (ionized gases) to improve processes and performance over many fields, such as materials processing, spacecraft propulsion, and nanofabrication. Plasma Engineering considers this rapidly expanding discipline from a unified standpoint, addressing fundamentals of physics and...

How Spacecraft Fly: Spaceflight Without Formulae

Springer, 2008

The aim of this popular science text is to explain aerodynamic and astrodynamic flight without the use of mathematics, in an informal style, for non-technical readers who are interested in spaceflight and spacecraft.

The book will open with a concise introductory chapter, chronicling the ‘space age’ up to the present, and a brief...

Applied Computational Fluid Dynamics Techniques: An Introduction Based on Finite Element Methods

John Wiley & Sons, 2008

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is concerned with the efficient numerical solution of the partial differential equations that describe fluid dynamics. CFD techniques are commonly used in the many areas of engineering where fluid behavior is an important factor. Traditional fields of application include aerospace and automotive design, and more...

Automatic Control of Atmospheric and Space Flight Vehicles: Design and Analysis with MATLAB® and Simulink® (Control Engineering)

Birkhauser, 2011

The main purpose of writing this book is to present a unified approach for automatic control of atmospheric and space flight vehicles. Such an outlook has become more necessary nowthan ever,with the advent of aerospace vehicleswhose singlemission covers operation as aircraft, rocket, and spacecraft at various instants....

Principles of Space Instrument Design (Cambridge Aerospace Series)

Cambridge University Press, 1998

Scientific observations from space require instruments which can operate in the orbital environment. The skills needed to design such special instruments span many disciplines. This book aims to bring together the elements of the design process. It is, first, a manual for the newly graduated engineer or physicist involved with the design of...

The Apollo Guidance Computer: Architecture and Operation

Praxis, 2010

The technological marvel that facilitated the Apollo missions to the Moon was the on-board computer. In the 1960s most computers filled an entire room, but the spacecraft’s computer was required to be compact and low power. Although people today find it difficult to accept that it was possible to control a spacecraft using such a...

Onboard Computers, Onboard Software and Satellite Operations: An Introduction (Springer Aerospace Technology)

Springer, 2011

The development of satellites is always driven by their applications, so the payload and its satellite infrastructure can fulfill all envisioned tasks and sometimes this is under great autonomy. The brain of the satellite is the Onboard Computer with the Onboard Software providing functions, procedures and services in preparation for the...

Computer and Information Security Handbook (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Computer Security)

Morgan Kaufmann, 2009

This book presents information on how to analyze risks to your networks and the steps needed to select and deploy the appropriate countermeasures to reduce your exposure to physical and network threats. It also imparts the skills and knowledge needed to identify and counter some fundamental security risks and requirements, inlcuding Internet...

Partial Differential Equations in Fluid Dynamics

Cambridge University Press, 2008

This book is concerned with partial differential equations applied to fluids problems in science and engineering. This work is designed for two potential audiences. First, this book can function as a text for a course in mathematical methods in fluid mechanics in non-mathematics departments or in mathematics service courses. The authors have taught...

Spacecraft Power Systems

CRC Press, 2004

The first man-made satellite was Sputnik I, launched and operated by Russia in the low Earth orbit in 1957. In the decade that followed, the American space exploration programs launched many Earth orbiting satellites. The first commercial geosynchronous satellite, Intelsat-1, was placed in orbit in 1965, and, in 1969, NASA’s Apollo-11 became...
