## eBook: Space Technology R&D

Engineers and scientists around the world are using modeling and simulation to design devices and systems that efficiently tackle the unique challenges of space travel and exploration. Multiphysics simulation, in particular, helps engineers accurately predict how their designs will function in space.

In this ebook, we explore four cases where modeling and simulation plays a role in space technology R&D and features two articles focused on simulation techniques for spacecraft antenna designs and the thermal modeling of satellites.

 

Topics include:

- Improving the additive manufacturing of rocket engine components
- Carbon dioxide removal technology at the ISS
- Combustion chamber acoustics in rocket systems
- Electron emission in extreme-environment technology
