Provides the basics of spacecraft orbital dynamics plus attitude dynamics and control, using vectrix notation Spacecraft Dynamics and Control: An Introduction presents the fundamentals of classical control in the context of spacecraft attitude control. This approach is particularly beneficial for the training of students in both of the subjects of classical control as well as its application to spacecraft attitude control. By using a physical system (a spacecraft) that the reader can visualize (rather than arbitrary transfer functions), it is easier to grasp the motivation for why topics in control theory are important, as well as the theory behind them. ...

Reviews for Spacecraft Dynamics and Control
In conclusion, this book covers a broad range of areas including some more in-depth content (stabilisation techniques, practical design issues) and is best used as an introductory text to the field for latter year undergraduates. (The Aeronautical Journal, 1 November 2014) Overall, this book provides a good, comprehensive examination of the fundamentals of translational and rotational dynamics, determination, and control ...
