Description for Celestial Mechanics and Astrodynamics: Theory and Practice
Hardback. Series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library. Num Pages: 559 pages, 93 black & white illustrations, 45 colour illustrations, 22 colour tables, biography. BIC Classification: PHD; PHVB. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 32. Weight in Grams: 997.
This volume is designed as an introductory text and reference book for graduate students, researchers and practitioners in the fields of astronomy, astrodynamics, satellite systems, space sciences and astrophysics. The purpose of the book is to emphasize the similarities between celestial mechanics and astrodynamics, and to present recent advances in these two fields so that the reader can understand the inter-relations and mutual influences. The juxtaposition of celestial mechanics and astrodynamics is a unique approach that is expected to be a refreshing attempt to discuss both the mechanics of space flight and the dynamics of celestial objects.

Reviews for Celestial Mechanics and Astrodynamics: Theory and Practice
“I found it to be very readable and an interesting introduction to the field of astrodynamics. I think it succeeds in its intention to emphasize the similarities between celestial mechanics and astrodynamics as well as the problems involved in dealing with real data. It is well-illustrated and is supported by good reference material. … the authors are to be congratulated ... Read more
