The International Handbook of Space Technology
Springer Berlin (Verlag)
978-3-642-41100-7 (ISBN)
This comprehensive handbook provides an overview of space technology and a holistic understanding of the system-of-systems that is a modern spacecraft.
With a foreword by Elon Musk, CEO and CTO of SpaceX, and contributions from globally leading agency experts from NASA, ESA, JAXA, and CNES, as well as European and North American academics and industrialists, this handbook, as well as giving an interdisciplinary overview, offers, through individual self-contained chapters, more detailed understanding of specific fields, ranging through:
· Launch systems, structures, power, thermal, communications, propulsion, and software, to
· entry, descent and landing, ground segment, robotics, and data systems, to
· technology management, legal and regulatory issues, and project management.
This handbook is an equally invaluable asset to those on a career path towards the space industry as it is to those already within the industry.
Malcolm Macdonald is the Associate Director of the Advanced Space Concepts Laboratory at the University of Strathclyde. He is the only European Associate Editor of the Journal of Guidance, Control and Dynamics, an AIAA journal, an editorial board member of Recent Patents on Space Technology and previously an editorial advisor to the Journal BIS. He is also a member of the space committee of the Royal Aeronautical Society. His current research covers frontier research into visionary space systems, include the development of mission applications with advanced technologies and concepts, covering astrodynamics, mission analysis and technology requirements development, with hardware interests centred on Unmanned Autonomous Systems (UAS), covering micro /and nano-spacecraft, including CubeSats, and aircraft. Macdonald has a diverse technical background, ranging across the complete spacecraft system and mission lifecycle. He has an on-going and extensive track-record of working with the European Space Agency on the technology requirements of far future science and exploration missions. He was previously a technical lead on the LISA-Pathfinder Disturbance Free Attitude Control Software, having also worked on the ADM-Aeolus control software. His work is reported in approximately 20 peer-reviewed journal papers and in many conference proceedings.
Elon Musk, geboren in Südafrika, ist mehrfacher Milliardär, US-Unternehmer und hat einige der zukunftsträchtigsten Firmen den Welt gegründet: PayPal, Tesla und SpaceX. Er zählt zu den 75 einflussreichsten Menschen des 21. Jahrhunderts. Das Magazin Forbes kürte ihn 2011 zu einem von "America's 20 Most Powerful CEOs 40 And Under. Bereits mit 12 Jahren entwickelte und verkaufte er Videospiele, die er an Computerzeitschriften verkaufte und verließ trotz eines Studienplatzes an der Stanford University diesen nach zwei Tagen um stattdessen Internetunternehmer zu werden.
