Small Satellites, Emerging Technology and Big Opportunities: The Reliability of New, Awesome Things

Making reliable 'new' products in innovative ways often results in (initially) things that fail. Often. And one of the problems is that sometimes we try to look backwards instead of looking forwards. This book chronicles some key lessons learn during a recent investigation into small satellite reliability. Small satellites are an emerging technology, and the industry is not ready for them yet. And this is making it difficult for everyone. Read this book if you are interested in some of the problems faced by creating a reliable 'new' product, as the lessons learnt have been 'learnt' many times before.
