Basic calculus of planetary orbits and interplanetary flight : the missions of the Voyagers, Cassini and Juno

Alexander J. Hahn, Author | Cham : Springer | 2020

Intended for a one- or two-semester course, this text applies basic, one-variable calculus to analyze the motion both of planets in their orbits as well as interplanetary spacecraft in their trajectories. The remarkable spacecraft missions to t[...]

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[...]

Astronautics

Ulrich Walter, Author | Cham : Springer | 2018

This introductory text covers all the key concepts, relationships, and ideas behind spaceflight and is the perfect companion for students pursuing courses on or related to astronautics. As a crew member of the STS-55 Space Shuttle mission and[...]

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[...]

Spacecraft trajectory optimization

Bruce A. Conway, Editor | Cambridge : Cambridge University Press | Cambridge aerospace series | 2010

This is a long-overdue volume dedicated to space trajectory optimization. Interest in the subject has grown, as space missions of increasing levels of sophistication, complexity, and scientific return - hardly imaginable in the 1960s - have been[...]

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[...]
