Surviving Orbit the DIY Way
Autor Sandy Antunesen Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 sep 2012
The perfect follow-up to DIY Satellite Platforms (our primer for designing and building a picosatellite), this book also provides an overview of what space is like and how orbits work, enabling you to set up the launch and orbit support you’ll need.
* Go deep into the numbers that describe conditions your satellite will face
* Learn how to mitigate the risks of radiation in the ionosphere
* Pick up enough formal systems engineering to understand what the tests are all about
* Build a thermal vacuum chamber for mimicking environment of space
* Simulate the rocket launch by building and running a vibration shake test
* Use a homebuilt centrifuge to conduct high G-force tests
* Get guidelines on scheduling tests and choosing an appropriate lab or clean room

Descriere
Just how harsh is the space environment into which you thrust your DIY satellite? We look at what conditions your satellite must endure, how to test your satellite, and what launch, ground and orbit support you will need.
