Space Stations

Beschreibung

The design of space stations like the recently launched ISS is a highly complex and interdisciplinary task. This book describes component technologies, system integration, and the potential usage of space stations in general and of the ISS in particular. It so adresses students and engineers in space technology. Ernst Messerschmid holds the chair of space systems at the University of Stuttgart and was one of the first German astronauts.
"With its first elements scheduled for launch in 1998, the International Space Station (ISS) will afford scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs an unprecedented platform on which to perform complex, long-duration, and replicable experiments in the unique environment of space." NASA press release
Textbook for advanced aerospace engineering students and a valuable source of information for engineers and managers in aerospace companies or space agencies as well as potential space stations users. The authors are involved in the recent launch of the International Space Station. Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
