Product Description
by NASA (Author), Clarence Gates (Introduction by)
Celestial Mechanics and Space Flight Analysis is a comprehensive guide to the principles of celestial mechanics and their application to space flight analysis. Written by the experts at NASA, this book covers the fundamental concepts of celestial mechanics, including Kepler's laws, orbital mechanics, and the perturbation theory. It also covers the practical aspects of space flight analysis, such as trajectory optimization, orbital maneuvers, and attitude control. The book includes numerous examples and exercises to help readers apply the concepts to real-world problems. It is an essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals in the fields of aerospace engineering, astrodynamics, and space science.Includes Applications Of Numerical Analysis And Computer Techniques In Celestial Mechanics, By Paul R. Peabody; Analysis Of Satellite Orbits For Geophysical Effects, By William M. Kaula; Applications Of Celestial Mechanics To Spacecraft Flight, By Thomas W. Hamilton; Space Flight Optimization, By William G.
