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[...]

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[...]

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[...]

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[...]
