Recognized as a "Recommended" title by Choice for their November 2020 issue.Choice is a publishing unit at the Association of College & Research Libraries (ACR&L), a division of the American Library Association. Choice has been the acknowledged leader in the provision of objective, high-quality evaluations of nonfiction academic writing. Presenting a fundamental definition of resilience, the book examines the concept of resilience as it relates to space system design.The book establishes the required definitions, relates its place to existing state-of-the-art systems engineering practices, and explains the process and mathematical tools used to achieve a resilient design. It discusses a variety of potential threats and their impact upon a space system. By providing multiple, real-world examples to illustrate the application of the design methodology, the book covers the necessary techniques and tools, while guiding the reader through the entirety of the process. The book begins with space systems basics to ensure the reader is versed in the functions and components of the system prior to diving into the details of resilience. However, the text does not assume that the reader has an extensive background in the subject matter of resilience. This book is aimed at engineers and architects in the areas of aerospace, space systems, and space communications.

Resilient Space Systems Design: An Introduction demonstrates how quantitative resilience methodologies can be applied to a wide range of space systems as an extension of conventional systems engineering processes. This holistic approach includes establishing core definitions, requirements definition, mathematical modelling, and cost and performance trades. It addresses the full spectrum of threats facing modern space systems, from natural hazards to hostile actions, and provides a comprehensive framework for ensuring mission continuity. The new edition includes expanded discussions of the systems engineering process, the relevance of qualitative resilience properties, and the use of algorithms and artificial intelligence to increase resilience. It examines the effects of various threats on space systems and ground elements, with particular attention to emerging challenges posed by proliferated low Earth orbit constellations implementing mesh networks. The book also features extended coverage of calculation of avoidance, recovery, reconstitution, and a single resilience value over multiple capabilities, threats, and mitigations. This book is intended for aerospace engineers, space systems engineers and architects, communications engineers, and network engineers working on improving the survivability and operational continuity of commercial, civil, and military space assets.
