Description for Capture Dynamics and Chaotic Motions in Celestial Mechanics: With Applications to the Construction of Low Energy Transfers
Hardback. Describes a revolutionary approach to determining low energy routes for spacecraft and comets by exploiting regions in space where motion is very sensitive. This work also represents an introductory text to celestial mechanics, dynamical systems, and dynamical astronomy. Num Pages: 232 pages, 20 line illus. BIC Classification: PHD; PHVB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 247 x 159 x 21. Weight in Grams: 474.
This book describes a revolutionary new approach to determining low energy routes for spacecraft and comets by exploiting regions in space where motion is very sensitive (or chaotic). It also represents an ideal introductory text to celestial mechanics, dynamical systems, and dynamical astronomy. Bringing together wide-ranging research by others with his own original work, much of it new or previously unpublished, Edward Belbruno argues that regions supporting chaotic motions, termed weak stability boundaries, can be estimated. Although controversial until quite recently, this method was in fact first applied in 1991, when Belbruno used a new route developed from this theory ... Read more

About Edward Belbruno
Edward Belbruno has been a Visiting Research Collaborator in the Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics at Princeton University since 1998. The author of numerous articles in professional journals in mathematics, astronomy, and aerospace engineering, he received the Laurel Award in 1999 for the salvage of a Hughes satellite in 1998 using lunar transfer.
Reviews for Capture Dynamics and Chaotic Motions in Celestial Mechanics: With Applications to the Construction of Low Energy Transfers
"You have just launched a multimillion dollar communications satellite into space. A malfunction means your expensive cargo will not reach its required orbit. Who are you going to call? A good choice would be Edward Belbruno, a celestial mechanician who seems to specialize in such lost causes... Capture Dynamics is the first book to describe the necessary theory in the ... Read more
