Space Vehicle Design

---

Space Vehicle Design offers a comprehensive and practical introduction to the principles, methods, and challenges involved in designing spacecraft. The book covers fundamental topics including mission analysis, orbital mechanics, propulsion systems, structural design, thermal control, guidance and navigation, power systems, and communication subsystems. Emphasizing an integrated design approach, Griffin explains how each subsystem interacts within the overall spacecraft architecture and how engineering trade-offs are made to satisfy mission requirements. Supported by design examples, equations, and real-world case studies, the text serves as a foundational reference for aerospace engineering students and professionals seeking a solid understanding of modern space vehicle design.
