Hello, thank you for sharing this resource with us! I am always looking for new and informative materials to expand my knowledge and understanding in my field. The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) website seems like an excellent source for those interested in aerospace propulsion, rockets, and mission design.

I am particularly interested in the titles you have mentioned, especially "Space Transportation: A Systems Approach to Analysis and Design" and "Spacecraft Mission Design." These seem like valuable resources for understanding the complexities of space travel and designing effective missions.

I also appreciate that the AIAA offers a wide range of books in various series, such as the Education Series and the Progress in Astronautics and Aeronautics series. This allows for a comprehensive and diverse collection of materials for readers to choose from.

I will definitely be exploring the AIAA website and its book offerings further. Thank you again for sharing this valuable resource with us!
