Description Design Methodologies for Space Transportation Systems discusses conceptual changes in the design philosophy away from multistage expendable vehicles to winged, reusable launch vehicles and presents an overview of the systems engineering and vehicle design process as well as trades and analyses. Individual chapters are devoted to specific disciplines such as aerothermodynamics, aerothermal analysis, structures, materials, propulsion, flight mechanics and trajectories, avionics and computers, and control systems. The final chapters deal with human factors, payloads, launch and mission operations, safety, and mission assurance. A companion CD-ROM includes additional figures and tables, resources for systems engineering and launch ranges, and a compendium of software programs and spreadsheets for modeling and analyzing design problems and scenarios.
