Description
In recent years, an unprecedented interest in novel and revolutionary space missions has risen out of the advanced NASA and ESA programs.
Astrophysicists, astronomers, space systems engineers, mathematicians and scientists have been cooperating to implement novel and ground-breaking
space missions. Recent progress in mathematical dynamics has enabled development of specialised spacecraft orbits and propulsion systems.
Recently, the concept of flying spacecraft in formation has gained a lot of interest within the community. These progresses constitute
the background to a significant renaissance of research dealing with astrodynamics and its applications.
?Modern Astrodynamics? is designed
as a stepping stone for the exposition of modern astrodynamics to students, researchers, engineers and scientists. This volume will present
the main constituents of the astrodynamical science in an elaborate, comprehensive and rigorous manner. Although the volume will contain
a few distinct chapters, it will render a coherent portrayal of astrodynamics.
Audience
Academic researchers, aerospace and mechanical engineers, astronomers and mathematicians involved in orbit determination and numerical
methods, PhD students studying astrodynamics, Corporate researchers, engineers and mission designers, and government researchers in astrodynamics.
It is also a must-read for commercial, economic and military policymakers, as it presents the forefront of space technology from the
broad perspective of astrodynamics.
