This text is written for undergraduates who are studying orbital mechanics for the first time and have completed courses in physics, dynamics, and mathematics, including differential equations and applied linear algebra.
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 ...
The superb examples will be extremely valuable to undergraduates and distinguishes this text from many others. This book should be given serious consideration for any undergraduate course in orbital mechanics or spacecraft dynamics.
Use r1 and v1 (or r2 and v2) in Algorithm 4.2 to obtain the orbital elements. EXAMPLE 5.2 The position of an earth satellite is first determined to be r =500014-10,000.j+2100K(km) After 1 h the position vector is rs = –14,600i ...
