The very first book on space systems failures written from an engineering perspective.
Focuses on the causes of the failures and discusses how the engineering knowledge base has been enhanced by the lessons learned.
Discusses non-fatal anomalies which do not affect the ultimate success of a mission, but which are failures nevertheless.
Describes engineering aspects of the spacecraft, making this a valuable complementary reference work to conventional engineering texts.
