Applied nonsingular astrodynamics

Jean Albert Kechichian, Author | Cambridge : Cambridge University Press | Cambridge aerospace series | 2018

This essential book describes the mathematical formulations and subsequent computer simulations required to accurately project the trajectory of spacecraft and rockets in space, using the formalism of optimal control for minimum-time transfer in[...]

Practical astrodynamics : Volume 1

Alessandro De Iaco Veris, Author | New York, NY : Springer | Springer aerospace technology, ISSN 1869-1730 | 2018

It first presents the fundamental principles of spaceflight mechanics and then addresses more complex concepts and applications of perturbation theory, orbit determination and refinement, space propulsion, orbital maneuvers, interplanetary traj[...]

Lunar and Interplanetary Trajectories

Robin Biesbroek, Author | Cham : Springer, Published in association with Praxis Publishing | 2016

This book provides readers with a clear description of the types of lunar and interplanetary trajectories, and how they influence satellite-system design. The description follows an engineering rather than a mathematical approach and includes m[...]

Low-energy lunar trajectory design

Jeffrey S. Parker, Author ; Rodney L. Anderson, Author | Hoboken, N.J. : John Wiley & Sons | Deep-space communications and navigation series | 2014

Space manifold dynamics : novel spaceways for science and exploration

Ettore Perozzi ; Sylvio Ferraz-Mello | New York, NY : Springer | 2010

How spacecraft fly : spaceflight without formulae

Graham Swinerd | [S.l.] : Praxis Publishing | 2008

About half a century ago a small satellite, Sputnik 1, was lauched. The satellite did very little other than to transmit a radio signal to announce its presence in orbit. However, this humble beginning heralded the dawn of the Space Age. Today l[...]

How spacecraft fly : spaceflight without formulae

Graham Swinerd | [S.l.] : Praxis Publishing | 2008

The aim of this popular science text is to explain aerodynamic and astrodynamic flight without the use of mathematics, in an informal style, for non-technical readers who are interested in spaceflight and spacecraft. The book will open with a co[...]

Interplanetary mission analysis and design

Stephen Kemble | New York, NY : Springer | Springer-Praxis books in astronautical engineering | 2006

Astronautical engineering : an introduction to the technology of spaceflight

Hanfried Schlingloff, Author | Bad Abbach (Germany) : Ingenieurbüro Dr. Schlingloff Publications | 2005

The purpose of this book is to develop an understanding of the main engineering problems involved in spaceflight. Mathematics has not been avoided, and a graduate level is necessary to follow the derivations. The book gives insight into the engi[...]

Statistical orbit determination

Byron D. Tapley ; Bob E. Schutz ; George H. Born | [S.l.] : Elsevier Academic Press | 2004

This books reviews elements of orbital mechanics, covers the fundamentals of orbit determination from classical least squaresthrough modern applications of square root covariance and information filters, and smoothers, describes tracking data sy[...]

Multiple gravity assist interplanetary trajectories

A.V. Labunsky ; Oleg V. Papkov ; Konstantin G. Sukhanov | [S.l.] : Gordon and Breach Science Publishers | Earth Space Institute Book Series | 1998

This monograph reflects the results of twenty years' experience in the field of multi-purpose flights, including the complex routes of the trajectories of a number of bodies (e. g. space vehicles, comets) in the solar system. The authors develop[...]
