The study of the universe is one of the most exciting and challenging human endeavors. The combined efforts of studies with telescopes, satellites and space missions, along with theoretical and laboratory studies have resulted in unprecedented discoveries and phenomena.
Space Science conveys the excitement and a broad perspective of the universe through a comprehensive overview, exciting discoveries to date, and unsolved problems, to motivate readers to pursue some of these areas in greater detail.
The advances in our understanding are the result of close interaction between scientists and engineers. Engineers play a crucial role in this partnership, including in the development of satellites, spacecraft, instrumentation for hostile environments, and the miniaturization of highly integrated electronics.
This book will be very useful for engineers and students at colleges and technical institutes. It has its origin in a series of lectures given to graduate students at various research institutes and universities in India and abroad.
