Space Systems Failures: Disasters and Rescues of Satellites, Rockets, and Space Probes is a really eye-opening compilation of the various failures of space systems missions including scientific NASA missions, commercial launches, and defense programs around the world. This book will make you much more vigilant in designing space systems. If you think flubbing units or coordinate systems is not that big of a deal, add up the millions (or billions?) of dollars lost to these trivial mistakes in production launches.
