"This book provides a comprehensive treatment of dynamics of space systems, starting with the fundamentals and covering topics from basic kinematics and dynamics to more advanced celestial mechanics. All material is presented in a consistent manner, and the reader is guided thro…
Accompanying computer disk contains two folders: source and examples. The source folder has all the source code, the input data files, and a subfolder named: others. The examples folder has the output data files that were generated from the 10 examples in Appendix C. These routi…
"Orbital and Celestial Mechanics affords engineering students, professors, and researchers alike an opportunity to cultivate the mathematical techniques necessary for this discipline - as well as physics and trajectory mechanics - using the familiar and universal concepts of cla…
With practical, real-world examples illustrating key concepts throughout, this concise resource provides thorough coverage of space flight topics with self-contained chapters serving a variety of courses in orbital mechanics, spacecraft dynamics, and astronautics. --
This concise yet comprehensive book on space flight dynamics addresses all phases of a space mission: getting to space (launch trajectories), satellite motion in space (orbital motion, orbit transfers, attitude dynamics), and returning from space (entry flight mechanics). It foc…
