Space Mission Analysis And Design

The definition of all space systems starts with the establishment of its fundamental parameters: requirements to be fulfilled, overall system and satellite design, analysis and design of the critical elements, developmental approach, cost, and schedule. There are only a few texts covering early design of space systems and none of them has been specifically dedicated to it.

This text offers a coherent and integrated approach to the discipline of software architectural design and covers a complete set of important methodologies, architectural styles, design guidelines, and design tools. The Java language is used throughout the book to explain design principles and present case studies. Review questions, exercises, and design assignments round out each chapter and allow students to test themselves on key material.
