Contents:
Dynamics of point masses -- The two-body problem -- Orbital position as a function of time -- Orbits in three dimensions -- Preliminary orbit determination -- Orbital maneuvers -- Relative motion and rendezvous -- Interplanetary trajectories -- Lunar trajectories -- Introduction to orbital perturbations -- Rigid body dynamics -- Spacecraft attitude dynamics -- Rocket vehicle dynamics.
Summary: "Orbital Mechanics for Engineering Students, Fourth Edition, is a key text for students of aerospace engineering. While this latest edition has been updated with new content and included sample problems, it also retains its teach-by-example approach that emphasizes analytical procedures, computer-implemented algorithms, and the most comprehensive support package available, including fully worked solutions, PPT lecture slides, and animations of selected topics. Highly illustrated and fully supported with downloadable MATLAB algorithms for project and practical work, this book provides all the tools needed to fully understand the subject."--Publisher's description
