Editorial Reviews

From the reviews:

“The text is organized into ten chapters, written by a total of 20 individual authors. Each chapter addresses the functionality and design of a particular modular circuit board … . this text is recommended as a reference and guide to students of small-scale satellite design, and to practitioners who actually build and operate such satellites, for whom these cutting-edge modular design approaches would be advantageous.” (A. G. Larson, Computing Reviews, November, 2013)
