The revised edition of this practical, hands-on book discusses the launch vehicles in use today throughout the world, and includes the latest details on advanced systems being developed, such as electric and nuclear propulsion. The author covers the fundamentals, from the basic principles of rocket propulsion and vehicle dynamics through the theory and practice of liquid and solid propellant motors, to new and future developments. He provides a serious exposition of the principles and practice of rocket propulsion, from the point of view of the user who is not an engineering specialist. Electric propulsion is now seen as the key to planetary exploration by robotic probes and nuclear propulsion has emerged from the doldrums and is now seen as a definite possibility for outer solar system robotic exploration, such as manned voyages to Mars.
