Planetary Landers and Entry Probes,
This review is from: Planetary Landers and Entry Probes (Paperback)
This is one of the most amazing and exciting books of any kind I've encountered. Where else will you experience with the authors designing a parachute to deploy at hypersonic speed in an atmosphere of uncertain composition at a temperature of approximately -300F, or designing a spacecraft/lander to keep its electronics at workable temperatures in the transition from radiative cooling of space to the convective cooling of an atmosphere, at such temperatures? The book ranges widely in subjects, as the skills of mission planners and designers must, and expresses complex subjects in a very accessible and often enthralling way.
