Collects many of the ideas, fundamental principles, and technology rudiments that can profoundly change the manner by which aerospace systems are designed, engineered, and assembled. The concepts presented advance the use of microengineering principles to impart intelligence, volition, and motility to systems on the miniature scale, thereby effecting a change in the paradigm of how aerospace systems should be developed, maintained, and used. The 17 chapters cover the general areas of materials/mechanics/processing and packaging, microsystem devices, distributed system architectures, and satellite subsystems. The book is written in a tutorial style providing worked examples, key equations, and process sequences. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Microengineering and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are a subject of considerable current interest involving research and development throughout the world. This first volume of a series on this topic reviews and evaluates micro- and nanotechnologies applicable to U.S. Air Force and commercial space systems. It introduces the concept of application-specific integrated microinstrument (ASIM), an intelligent microinstrument.

Micro- and Nanotechnology for Space Systems

E. Robinson

A follow-on to Micro- and Nanotechnology for Space Systems. This text uses the term microengineering to define the discipline and process, and addresses issues concerning areas for ASIM applications in space systems, operation in the space environment and ultra-high density packaging.

Microengineering Technology for Space Systems

<p>Editors Helvajian and Janson (senior scientists, The Aerospace Corporation) have enlisted the help of colleagues to deliver this textbook on small satellites, providing students and researchers with a thorough survey of developments over the 50 years since Sputnik was first launched. Contributors discuss the features, innovations and history of small satellites and discuss such developments as the role of AMSAT and CubeSat and coalition operationally responsive space. Small satellite programs from such entities as the Air Force Academy, Naval Academy, Naval Postgraduate School and the Technical U. of Berlin are also described in depth.
