Description for Essential Spaceflight Dynamics and Magnetospherics
Hardback. Describes some of the key aspects of celestial mechanics and spaceflight dynamics. This book introduces orbital elements as well as analysis techniques that are sufficient to evaluate the influence of various disturbing forces on spacecraft. It outlines a theory of manoeuvres and the methodology of making interplanetary trajectory corrections. Series: Space Technology Library. Num Pages: 411 pages, biography. BIC Classification: TTDS. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 297 x 210 x 23. Weight in Grams: 763.
Essential Spaceflight Dynamics and Magnetospherics describes, in the first instance, some of the key aspects of celestial mechanics and spaceflight dynamics. It begins with classical two and three body problems illustrative of the aesthetic aspects of applying analytical methods of investigation to celestial mechanics. Then, osculating orbital elements are introduced as well as analysis techniques sufficient to evaluate the influence of various disturbing forces on spacecraft. Next a theory of manoeuvres is outlined and the methodology of making interplanetary trajectory corrections. Ideas involving various approaches to orbital element determinations using measured data are also considered. The forces applied to a ... Read more
