Good Morning,

I am finishing up a master's degree in physics, and I am considering what
to do next. I think I should like to learn how to design space vehicles. I
think I have found a program at a major university that suits my needs.

My undergraduate degrees are in physics and electrical engineering. I
would like to get up to speed in astronautical engineering. As my
undergraduate degrees are not in aerospace or astronautical engineering, I
have deficiencies to make up.

I am interested in what materials to use for space vehicles, radiation and
thermal effects on space vehicles, design for the space environment, manned
and unmanned space vehicle requirements, and so on.

Anyone have a good bibliography for me to start reading? Or can point to a
list of relevant journals? (The engineering library is half way across
campus, so I'd like to have a list in hand when I get there...)
