Abstract
Until now, we’ve looked into telecommunications, attitude control, and propulsion systems from a general point of view encompassing their components in flight as well as their components on Earth. The systems of telecommunications and navigation encompass parts of both the spacecraft and the Deep Space Network facilities worldwide. The propulsion system spans launch vehicle, upper stage or injection propulsion unit, and mission module. In this chapter our focus shifts to view flight components as subsystems on a spacecraft, which is seen as a flight system. For this purpose we define the spacecraft as the “mission module” part that operates in the vicinity of a target of interest after having jettisoned any ancillary modules.
