Spacecraft Power Systems is the first book of its kind to provide in-depth, reliable information on all aspects of spacecraft power system design, analyses, and operation for all types of spacecraft--earth orbiting, interplanetary, and deep space. It presents the most modern data and procedures for designing electrical power systems that meet mission requirements at a minimum cost and weight. Broad coverage of the fundamentals of energy conversion, energy storage, power conditioning, energy management, and the operational aspects will help readers maintain a leading edge in designing a variety of systems. The book consists of 27 chapters and uses both International and British units to present data.
