The Design Secrets series brings the reader inside the creative process, unlike most design books that only show the final design. Each design project selected is illustrated in detail from concept to completion and all the stages in-between and includes the designer's insights and inspirations of the project.

These results are of course mostly of a scientific nature, although a small number of interplanetary missions are also flown primarily...
