Safety Design for Space Systems

Safety Design for Space Systems, Second Edition presents an essential educational resource and reference tool for engineers and managers working on space projects. The book provides substantial updates on chapters from the previous edition, including new content on battery safety, life support systems, robotic systems safety, and fire safety. It also features new chapters on crew survivability design and nuclear space systems safety. Finally, discussions on human rating concepts, safety-by-design principles, and safety management practices are revised and improved. With contributions from leading experts worldwide, this new edition helps educate on space safety engineering and management for safety during design. Presents basic multidisciplinary knowledge on space systems safety design Addresses how space safety engineering and management can be implemented in practice Includes new chapters on crew survivability design and nuclear space systems safety Provides a  fully revised and updated resource that reflects the latest developments in the field INDICE: 1.
