Title: Spacecraft Systems Engineering by Peter Fortescue, John Stark, Graham Swinerd ISBN: 0-471-61951-5 Publisher: John Wiley & Sons Pub. Date: 07 March, 2003 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $75.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 4 (2 reviews)
Rating: 3
Summary: Good Overall
Comment: Having taken a spacecraft course that utilized Fortescue and Stark as its primary text, I can say that I thought it was a horrible choice.
While the bulk of the material is an excellent overview of the topic, introducing subject matter in all areas (attitude control, propulsion, orbit manuevers etc.), the theoretical proof in the text leave much to be desired.
The text offers virtually no examples of the math it introduces, and thus, makes it very diffcult to apply any of the information that it presents. It is well developed for almost liberal arts type reading, but I did not feel it served very well as a science and engineering text.
Rating: 5
Summary: Spacecraft Systems Engineering, oh how helpful it is
Comment: I am about fifteen and I am very interested in engineering, so I bought this book. I will tell you that this has tought me so much about engineering and the importance of math. It contains equations for everything from life support systems to propulsion systems. I would reccomend this for anyone interested in working in the field of spacecraft engineering or just has 70 bucks to spend on an interesting insight into what it takes to build a spacecraft. I have talked to some engineers and they told me that this book will get you on your way to a carrer in this field. It covers all systems and in great detail even if you want to build your own minicraft(science fair, worked too. Well that is all.
