Description

Spacecraft design is not one subject -- it is a dozen subjects that all have to work together at once. Orbital mechanics decides where the spacecraft goes; structures and materials decide whether it survives launch; power and thermal systems decide whether it survives operation; attitude control decides whether its instruments point where they need to; propulsion decides how much of all of this is even affordable in mass. Most engineering resources teach these subjects one at a time, in isolation, which leaves a real gap: understanding orbital mechanics does not tell you how a delta-v budget constrains structural mass, and understanding structures does not tell you how a thermal design decision changes a power budget. This handbook is built to close that gap. Rather than treating each subsystem as its own closed topic, it develops spacecraft engineering as one connected discipline, opening with the systems engineering mindset and concurrent engineering methods that professional teams actually use to manage trade-offs across subsystems, before working through astrodynamics, the space environment, attitude dynamics and control, propulsion, launch and reentry, structures, power and thermal balance, communications, onboard data and autonomy, ground segment integration, and verification -- always showing how each subsystem's numbers feed into the next. Every topic is derived from first principles, with assumptions stated and no steps skipped, then applied through multiple fully worked numerical examples with complete unit tracking, so the reasoning is visible, not just the result. Inside, readers will find: A systems-engineering framework for reasoning across subsystem trade-offs, not just within one subsystem. Full derivations for the governing equations of orbital mechanics, attitude dynamics, and structural and thermal analysis. Multiple worked numerical examples per chapter with every unit tracked through the calculation. Practice problems with worked, boxed answers in every chapter to test understanding before moving on. Key-term definitions, tables, and figures supporting each major concept. A closing case-study chapter that applies every subsystem covered in the book to one integrated spacecraft design, showing how the pieces actually fit together. This is written for upper-level and graduate engineering students working through spacecraft systems for the first time, and for early-career or practicing engineers who need one reference that connects subsystem decisions to the whole vehicle rather than treating each subsystem as an island. Begin building a clearer understanding of how a spacecraft's subsystems actually fit together, with a guide designed around the trade-offs that matter most.
