Spacecraft Power Systems provides reliable, in-depth information on all aspects of spacecraft power system design, analysis, and operation for all types of spacecraft: earth-orbiting, interplanetary, and deep-space. It presents data and procedures for designing electrical power systems that meet mis..

This textbook treats system dynamics from a bond graph perspective. It guides students from the process of modeling using bond graphs, through dynamic systems analysis in the time and frequency domains, to classical and state-space controller design. Although established texts exist for system dynam..

This book presents a set of formal requirements—explicit, executable instructions—for systems engineering and architecting. Written in Mathematica®, the requirements provide tools to help systems engineers and architects accomplish key tasks better, faster, and cheaper. Chapters open with real-world..
