Pages : 250
Book Description
This valuable textbook describes those subjects important to conceptual, competitive stages of propulsion design and emphasizes the tools needed for this process. The text begins with a discussion of the history of propulsion and outlines various propulsion system types to be discussed such as cold gas systems, monopropellant systems, bipropellant systems, and solid systems. Included with the text is PRO: AIAA Propulsion Design Software, which allows the reader to proceed directly from understanding into professional work and provides the accuracy, speed, and convenience of personal computing. Also, the software contains conversion routines that make it easy to move back and forth between English and metric systems. A recommended text for professionals and students of propulsion.

Microsatellites as Research Tools
Author: F.-B. HsiaoPublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080536522
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 399
Book Description
In order to reflect the increasing importance and interest of the microsatellites in high technology and scientific applications in space, the Colloquium on Microsatellites as Research Tools was organized to promote its usage and technology development and to foster the international cooperation, especially in the area of the Asia pacific region. Attended by 150 participants from 18 countries the colloquium was organized into five major themes: regional development, lessons learned, innovations, scientific applications, and education. A special session was organized as well by the organizing committee and supported by the National Space Program Office to present its development of the Taiwan's satellite program and the current status of ROCSAT-1 which is scheduled to be launched at the beginning of 1999. Two main conclusions were drawn from the material presented: microsatellite in general is a very good means for doing space research and technology development, and a suitable vehicle to promote international collaborations.
Space Micropropulsion for Nanosatellites
Author: Kean How CheahPublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0128190388
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
Space Micropropulsion for Nanosatellites: Progress, Challenges and Future features the latest developments and progress, the challenges faced by different researchers, and insights on future micropropulsion systems. Nanosatellites, in particular cubesats, are an effective test bed for new technologies in outer space. However, most of the nanosatellites have no propulsion system, which subsequently limits their maneuverability in space. Explains why nanosatellite requirements need unique micro-technologies to help develop a compliant propulsion system Features an overview of nanosatellites and the global nanosatellite market Covers chemical and electric micropropulsion and the latest developments
Advanced Space Propulsion Systems
Author: Martin TajmarPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3709105471
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 139
Book Description
Space propulsion systems have a great influence on our ability to travel to other planets or how cheap a satellite can provide TV programs. This book provides an up-to-date overview of all kinds of propulsion systems ranging from classical rocket technology, nuclear propulsion to electric propulsion systems, and further to micro-, propellantless and even breakthrough propulsion, which is a new program under development at NASA. The author shows the limitations of the present concepts and how they could look like in the future. Starting from historical developments, the reader is taken on a journey showing the amazing technology that has been put on hold for decades to be rediscovered in the near future for questions like how we can even reach other stars within a human lifetime. The author is actively involved in advanced propulsion research and contributes with his own experience to many of the presented topics. The book is written for anyone who is interested in how space travel can be revolutionized.
