  • Presenting the established principles underpinning space robotics (conservation of momentum and energy, stability) with a thorough and modern approach, chapters build from general physical foundations through an extensive treatment of kinematics of multi-body systems, and then to conservation principles in dynamics. The latter part of the book focuses on real-life applications related to space systems. Drawing upon years of practical experience and using numerous solved examples, illustrative applications and MATLAB, the author includes: an explanation of basic space mechanics and the dynamics of space vehicles; a rigorous treatment of conservation and variational principles in dynamics and in control theory that can be applied to a range of space vehicles and robotic systems; and a systematic presentation of the application of dynamics and control theory to real spacecraft systems.

  • A modern pedagogical treatment of the latest industry trends in rocket propulsion, developed from the authors' extensive experience in both industry and academia. Students are guided along a step-by-step journey through modern rocket propulsion, beginning with the historical context and an introduction to top-level performance measures, and progressing on to in-depth discussions of the chemical aspects of fluid flow combustion thermochemistry and chemical equilibrium, solid, liquid, and hybrid rocket propellants, mission requirements, and an overview of electric propulsion. With a wealth of homework problems (and a solutions manual for instructors online), real-life case studies and examples throughout, and an appendix detailing key numerical methods and links to additional online resources, this is a must-have guide for senior and first year graduate students looking to gain a thorough understanding of the topic along with practical tools that can be applied in industry.

    Energy Deposition for High-Speed Flow Control
    Published online:
    08 February 2019
    Print publication:
    21 February 2019, pp 1-5

  • Summary

    The control of the mean and fluctuating aerothermodynamic loads on a high-speed vehicle is critical to achieving maximum performance and avoiding structural fatigue and failure. A new technology for high-speed flow control is energy deposition using DC, microwave, or laser discharge.

    Energy Deposition for High-Speed Flow Control
    Published online:
    08 February 2019
    Print publication:
    21 February 2019, pp 6-27

  • Summary

    Understanding energy deposition for flow control requires a knowledge of the conservation laws governing molecular interactions and continuum fluid motion. These include the conservation of mass, momentum, and energy, the Second Law of Thermodynamics, Maxwell's equations, Schrodinger's equation, and Liouville's equation.
