Algorithms for Satellite Orbital Dynamics, 1st ed. 2023 Springer Series in Astrophysics and Cosmology Series
Langue : Anglais
This book highlights the fundamental physics of orbit theory, dynamical models, methods of orbit determination, design, measurement, adjustment, and complete calculations for the position, tracking, and prediction of satellites and deep spacecraft. It emphasizes specific methods, related mathematical calculations, and worked examples and exercises. Therefore, technicians and engineers in the aerospace industry can directly apply them to their practical work. Dedicated to undergraduate students and graduate students, researchers, and professionals in astronomy, physics, space science, and related aerospace industries, the book is an integrated work based on the accumulated knowledge in satellite orbit dynamics and the author?s more than five decades of personal research and teaching experience in astronomy and aerospace dynamics.
