PPT-PH 711: Spacecraft mission design and selection: real examp

Dr Mark Price Spring 2011 We will go through the procedure of a real example of the mission proposal and selection process In 1 or 2 lectures I can barely scratch the surface Even the smallest science mission costs gt100M and there is quite literally THOUSANDS of pages of documentation for even a modest mission. 1.
