Modern Astrodynamics (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781632388506)

Astrodynamics is the term used to describe the application of ballistics and celestial mechanics to the problems concerned with the motion of rockets and other spacecraft. Ballistics is a mechanical field that deals with the science of designing and accelerating the projectiles to achieve the desired performance. Celestial mechanics is an astronomical branch that focuses on the motion of objects in outer space. Their motion is calculated on the basis of Newton's laws of motion and laws of universal gravitation. Numerous complex calculations related to escape velocities, trajectories and orbits take place within this field. While understanding the long-term perspectives of astrodynamics, this book makes an effort in highlighting its impact as a modern tool for the growth of the discipline. It unravels the recent studies in the field of astrodynamics. This book serves as a resource guide for both students and experts and contributes to the growth of the discipline.
