Dave Doody Издательство:Springer Год издания: 2009 Страниц: 440 ISBN:3540895094 Формат: PDF Размер:10,3 Mб Язык: английский Deep Space Craft opens the door to interplanetary flight. It looks at
this world from the vantage point of real operations on a specific
mission, and follows a natural trail from the day-to-day working of
this particular spacecraft, through the functioning of all spacecraft
to the collaboration of the various disciplines to produce the results
for which a spacecraft is designed. These results are of course mostly
of a scientific nature, although a small number of interplanetary
missions are also flown primarily to test and prove new engineering
techniques. The author shows how, in order to make sense of all the
scientific data coming back to Earth, the need for experiments and
instrumentation arises, and follows the design and construction of the
instruments through to their placement and testing on a spacecraft
prior to launch. Examples are given of the interaction between an
instrument’s science team and the mission’s flight team to plan and
specify observations, gather and analyze data in flight, and finally
present the results and discoveries to the scientific community.
