DESCRIPTION:
Survey book I got this book to help with some research that I was working on at the time. I had read some sections of the book online prior to ordering it (do a quick search and it should pop up as one of the first hits) and some of the marital that I wanted to see was not available for preview for the free online version. Unfortunately, for my particular case about solar panels, the there wasn't any new information that I found in the book that I wasn't able to find online. I have had this book for a little over a year and I have read through most of the chapters that were relevant to me (dealing with power s. Mario C. P. Almeida said Good book. Good book. Almost complete in its coverage of the subject. May require revisions in future editions due to some incorrectness.
Spacecraft Power Systems addresses every facet of electrical power system design, analyses, and operation with a level of detail found nowhere else. This volume provides the most recent data and procedures for designing an electrical power system that meets mission requirements at a minimum of cost and weight.This book evolved from courses taught by the author and from the author's deep involvement in many design and development programs at the General Electric Space Division and at Lockheed Martin Space Systems.. Until now, except for the scattered results of conferences and a few publications with sketchy coverage, no single volume has covered the entire spectrum of the subject. The power systems of space vehicles have undergone significant development during the previous decade, and will continue to do so in the immediate future. The book delivers wide coverage of the fundamentals of energy conversion, energy storage, power conditioning, energy management, and operational aspects that help engineers maintain a leading edge in the design of various systems
