Featuring new chapters and updated content, it serves as an essential resource for aerospace engineering students and professionals seeking in-depth, quantitative knowledge of spacecraft subsystems and system-level integration. ## Description This fourth edition of the bestselling Spacecraft Systems Engineering title provides the reader with comprehensive coverage of the design of spacecraft and the implementation of space missions, across a wide spectrum of space applications and space science. The text has been thoroughly revised and updated, with each chapter authored by a recognized expert in the field. Three chapters – Ground Segment, Product Assurance and Spacecraft System Engineering – have been rewritten, and the topic of Assembly, Integration and Verification has been introduced as a new chapter, filling a gap in previous editions. This edition addresses β€˜front-end system-level issues’ such as environment, mission analysis and system engineering, but also progresses to a detailed examination of subsystem elements which represents the core of spacecraft design. This includes mechanical, electrical and thermal aspects, as well as propulsion and control. This quantitative treatment is supplemented by an emphasis on the interactions between elements, which deeply influences the process of spacecraft design. Adopted on courses worldwide, Spacecraft Systems Engineering is already widely respected by students, researchers and practising engineers in the space engineering sector. It provides a valuable resource for practitioners in a wide spectrum of disciplines, including system and subsystem engineers, spacecraft equipment designers, spacecraft operators, space scientists and those involved in related sectors such as space insurance. In summary, this is an outstanding resource for aerospace engineering students, and all those involved in the technical aspects of design and engineering in the space sector. Review: Serious book for the serious student - Bought this for my son during his A-levels as he wanted to pursue aerospace engineering at university. It is a brilliant book, but not for beginners. Think college level textbook. That said, my son started digging into equations and systems he previously didn't even know existed. He's calling it a 'forever on my bookshelf' book. I can dig that. If you or a loved one is interested in spacecraft and engineering, I can't recommend this highly enough. Review: Recommended - It is a good space systems manual ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 327,729 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 198 in Mechanical & Material Engineering 1,439 in Aviation References 6,473 in Engineering & Technology | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 152 Reviews | ## Images ![Spacecraft Systems Engineering, 4th Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71xC+URqw3L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Serious book for the serious student *by M***W on 3 October 2025* Bought this for my son during his A-levels as he wanted to pursue aerospace engineering at university. It is a brilliant book, but not for beginners. Think college level textbook. That said, my son started digging into equations and systems he previously didn't even know existed. He's calling it a 'forever on my bookshelf' book. I can dig that. If you or a loved one is interested in spacecraft and engineering, I can't recommend this highly enough. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Recommended *by B***S on 22 February 2020* It is a good space systems manual ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great handbook of satellite design *by C***E on 5 October 2015* I'm reviewing this book as a system engineer working on the next generation of european launchers. I bought it to learn more about the requirements that the payload put on the launcher trajectory and required performances. The book covers almost all aspects involved in the design of a spacecraft and so is really good for someone who wants to know all the disciplines which are put to work. But, it also means that the book can only brush all those topics without diving in all the technical details. It must be considered as a guidebook, helping you remember all the steps to take into account while working on a design and not a jack of all trade book. Also, I've found some errors but didn't check yet if there is an offical correction update. So, TL;DR, if you are a student on the subject or, like me, someone who wants to know more about this subject, go for it. If you are into the business, stay with multiple, more advanced book each covering a single topic unless you want a "reminder". ## Frequently Bought Together - Spacecraft Systems Engineering - Fundamentals of Astrodynamics: Second Edition (Dover Books on Physics) - Rocket Propulsion Elements --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/54326392-spacecraft-systems-engineering-4th-edition](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/54326392-spacecraft-systems-engineering-4th-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-06-28*
