Planetary Spacecraft Navigation, 1st ed. 2019 Space Technology Library Series, Vol. 37
Auteur : Miller James
James Miller worked as the assistant Navigation Team Chief on the Viking Mission to Mars in 1976. In 2000, he received the Mechanics and Control of Flight medal from the AIAA for his design of the navigation system for the first orbiting and landing on the asteroid Eros. Further, he designed a trajectory to leave Earth and orbit the Moon with no propulsive maneuvers. This was the first practical solution of the four-body problem, and it has since been used on the missions Hiten, Genesis, and Grail.
Offers an in-depth look into the resources and technologies used at the Jet Propulsion Laboratories, including the Deep Space Network
Explains the mathematical reasoning behind navigation computer programs
Examines the success and failure of real-world navigation theory application in previous space missions
