The first comprehensive reference on the design, analysis, and application of space vehicle mechanisms
Space Vehicle Mechanisms: Elements of Successful Design brings together accumulated industry experience in the design, analysis, and application of the mechanical systems used during space flight. More than thirty experts from a variety of related specialties and subspecialties share their insights, technical expertise, and in-depth knowledge on an enormous variety of topics, including:
* Stainless steel, beryllium, and other widely used materials
* Bearings
* Lubricants and component lubrication
* Release devices
* Motors
* Optical encoders
* Resolvers
* Signal and power transfer devices
* Deployment devices
* Thermal design
* Radiation and survivability
* Electrical interfaces
* Reliability
Space Vehicle Mechanisms is an indispensable resource for engineers involved in the design and analysis of mechanical assemblies used in space flight, and a valuable reference for space systems engineers, mission planners, and control systems engineers. It is also an excellent text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate-level courses in astronautical and mechanical engineering.
