"Interest is growing in space activity, and many new launchers are in development. Design of Rockets and Space Launch Vehicles, Second Edition is a timely and comprehensive exposâe of important concepts and applications. This newly updated edition provides enhanced understanding and exposure to the latest developments in the practical aspects of design, engineering, manufacturing, and testing. Although it is primarily intended for readers with at least a 3rd-year level knowledge of aerospace engineering, mathematics, and physics, because it contains many applications and step-by-step illustrated examples along with photographs or line drawings of actual hardware, it will also be of interest to practicing engineers, technical managers, and others who are interested in "how rockets work" in either the "big picture" sense, or in areas other than one's specialty. This book will answer many questions as to "why things are done this way.""--
