This text is drawn from the author's years of experience in spacecraft design culminating in his
leadership of the Magellan Venus orbiter spacecraft design from concept through launch. The work
also benefits from his years of teaching spacecraft design at Colorado University and for AIAA as a
home study short course. The work presents a broad view of the complete spacecraft. The objective
is to explain the thought and analysis that goes into the creation of a spacecraft with simplicity and
with enough worked examples so that the reader can be self-taught if necessary.

Editor's note: An AIAA email going around today: "Charles D. Brown, 76, longtime AIAA author,
professional development instructor, and associate fellow, died 20 January 2007. Known to the book
and professional development staff as Charlie, he was one of our most cherished assets. His
teaching inspired his three successful AIAA textbooks and home study courses. Spacecraft Mission
Design, Spacecraft Propulsion, and Elements of Spacecraft Design all have been widely adopted for
university classroom use."
