Book Description
This practical book gives young professionals all the information they need to know to get started in the space business. It takes you step by step through processes for systems engineering and acquisition, design and development, cost analysis, and program planning and analysis. You’ll find the systems engineering and design process that applies to all space transportation systems, then the overall system architecture considerations that also apply to all space transportation systems. There is also detailed coverage of space launch vehicles by class, including the current space shuttle, other manned reusable systems, expendable systems, and future systems.

A companion CD-ROM contains the Operations Simulation and Analysis Modeling System software.
