Space Systems Failures: Disasters and Rescues of Satellites, Rocket and Space Probes

by David M. Harland and Ralph Lorenz

The very first book on space systems failures written from an engineering perspective.

Focuses on the causes of the failures and discusses how the engineering knowledge base has been enhanced by the lessons learned.

Describes engineering aspects of the spacecraft, making this a valuable complementary reference...
