Spacecraft Reliability and Multi-state Failures (by Joseph Homer  Saleh)
* provides new nonparametric results pertaining to spacecraft reliability based on extensive statistical analysis of on-orbit anomaly and failure data;
* develops parametric models of spacecraft and spacecraft subsystem reliability and multi-state failures
* quantifies the relative contribution of each subsystem to the failure of the satellites
* proposes advanced stochastic modeling and analysis tools for the reliability and survivability of spacecraft and space-based networks.
* provides a dedicated treatment of the reliability and subsystem anomalies of communication spacecraft in geostationary orbit.        Link


 

Satellite Communications - Ground Segment and Earth Station Handbook
From international telephone network gateways to direct broadcast home receivers, today’s broad range of ground systems and devices require satellite communication engineers and business managers to have a broad and sound understanding of the design and operating principles of earth stations and ground control facilities. This volume offers an exploration of the delivery end of the satellite link and its relationship to the delivery of services.  Link





Satellite Orbits: Models, Methods and Applications, by Oliver Montenbruck
This is a modern textbook that guides the reader through the theory and practice of satellite orbit prediction and determination. Starting from the basic principles of orbital mechanics, it covers elaborate force models as well as precise methods of satellite tracking. Emphasis is on numerical treatment and a multitude of algorithms adopted in modern satellite trajectory computation are described in detail. The book addresses students, scientist working in the field of navigation, geodesy and spaceflight technology and satellite engineers and operators focusing on spaceflight dynamics.    Link



 Spacecraft Power Technologies, by Anthony K.Hyder
While there are numerous books and other literature on spacecraft electrical power systems, there are no comprehensive single references describing the enabling technologies used in spacecraft power systems. This book fills that need. Rather than describing specific power systems used in various space flights, Spacecraft Power Technologies details three of the most commonly used types of energy sources used in spacecraft power systems—solar, chemical, and nuclear sources.

Spacecraft Systems Engineering, by Peter Fortescue
This fourth edition of the bestselling Spacecraft Systems Engineering title provides the reader with comprehensive coverage of the design of spacecraft and the implementation of space missions, across a wide spectrum of space applications and space science. The text has been thoroughly revised and updated, with each chapter authored by a recognized expert in the field.  Three chapters – Ground Segment, Product Assurance and Spacecraft System Engineering – have been rewritten, and the topic of Assembly, Integration and Verification has been introduced as a new chapter, filling a gap in previous editions.
