Overview

This text is devoted to the technologies critical to the development of spacecraft electrical power systems. The science and engineering of solar, chemical and nuclear systems is examined together with the constraints imposed by the space and thermal environments in which the systems must operate. Details of technology and the history that led to the state-of-the-art are presented at a level appropriate for the student as a textbook or the practising engineer as a reference.

Reviews

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 ... it provides the basics for understanding, which lends itself as a good textbook in a specialty power engineering course. IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine
