CubeSat handbook: from mission design to operations

CubeSat Handbook: From Mission Design to Operations is the first book solely devoted to the design, manufacturing, and in-orbit operations of CubeSats.  Beginning with an historical overview from CubeSat co-inventors Robert Twiggs and Jordi Puig-Suari, the book is divided into 6 parts with contributions from international experts in the area of small satellites and CubeSats.  It covers topics such as standard interfaces, on-board & ground software, industry standards in terms of control algorithms and sub-systems, systems engineering, standards for AITV (assembly, integration, testing and validation) activities, and launch regulations. This comprehensive resource provides all the information needed for engineers and developers in industry and academia to successfully design and launch a CubeSat mission.  Provides an overview on all aspects that a CubeSat developer needs to analyze during mission design and its realizationFeatures practical examples on how to design and deal with possible issues during a CubeSat missionCovers new developments and technologies, including ThinSats and PocketQubeSats INDICE: Part I: Systems Engineering Applied to CubeSats Part II: CubeSat missions analysis and design 1.
