The very first book on space systems failures written from an
engineering perspective. Focuses on the causes of the failures and
discusses how the engineering knowledge base has been enhanced by
the lessons learned. Discusses non-fatal anomalies which do not
affect the ultimate success of a mission, but which are failures
nevertheless. Describes engineering aspects of the spacecraft,
making this a valuable complementary reference work to conventional
engineering texts.
