商品描述
The objective of this textbook is to provide a synopsis of propulsion technologies in the context of spaceship design. The author identified a lack of multidisciplinary textbooks that explain to students both the technology and physics of space propulsion as well as its relationship to other disciplines in the process of spaceship design. To make the subject more tangible, the propulsion demanding context of space exploration was chosen.
The book therefore begins with the astronomical context relevant to human exploration of the solar system. This challenging endeavour requires powerful space propulsion systems of various types. Existing and emerging technologies are systematically discussed. Principle similarities and technological analogies between the different types are highlighted. Starting from the physical working principle, the book progressively extends the view to subsystem and system design aspects. This approach recognises that the propulsion subsystem is the most defining architectural element of large spacecraft, i.e. starships. Such a comprehensive presentation of propulsion technology from a system perspective is not yet reflected in the existing literature.
In order to apply the fundamental knowledge provided in the first 9 chapters, a mission to the dwarf planet Ceres is presented, where different propulsion technologies have to be combined to achieve the mission objectives. In this way, the reader is introduced to the basics of requirements breakdown, design space analysis and the technical trade-off process, all of which are essential for early mission planning. The book is aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate students, recent postgraduates, and newcomers to the field of spacecraft design where propulsion is essential.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本教科書的目標是提供一個關於推進技術的綜述，並將其置於太空船設計的背景中。作者發現缺乏多學科的教科書，能夠向學生解釋太空推進的技術和物理，以及它與太空船設計過程中其他學科的關係。為了使這個主題更具體，選擇了太空探索這一對推進要求高的背景。
因此，本書首先介紹與人類探索太陽系相關的天文背景。這一具有挑戰性的任務需要各類強大的太空推進系統。現有和新興技術將系統性地進行討論，並強調不同類型之間的原理相似性和技術類比。本書從物理工作原理出發，逐步擴展到子系統和系統設計的各個方面。這種方法認識到推進子系統是大型太空船（即星際飛船）最具決定性的架構元素。從系統的角度對推進技術進行如此全面的介紹，在現有文獻中尚未得到反映。
為了應用前九章提供的基本知識，本書介紹了一個前往矮行星谷神星的任務，該任務需要結合不同的推進技術以達成任務目標。通過這種方式，讀者將了解需求分解、設計空間分析和技術權衡過程的基本知識，這些都是早期任務規劃中必不可少的。本書的目標讀者為高年級本科生、研究生、近期畢業的碩士生以及對推進至關重要的太空船設計領域的新手。
作者簡介
Dr. Farid Gamgami holds a Master's degree in aerospace engineering from the RWTH Aachen, with a focus on space propulsion and space transportation. Additionally, he obtained a PhD in Theoretical Astrophysics from the University of Heidelberg, which complemented his scientific training with in-depth studies of physical phenomena not commonly found in engineering. During his tenure at DLR and subsequent employment at OHB System AG, he developed a comprehensive understanding of spacecraft design by leading multidisciplinary teams on projects involving space transportation and deep space missions. Dr. Gamgami is currently vice director and head of international collaboration and education programme at the Key Laboratory for Satellite Digital Technology in Shanghai, which belongs to the Innovation Academy for Microsatellites (IAMCAS), an institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). He is the first non-Chinese to assume such a leading position in the field of space engineering in this prestigious scientific association.
