{"product_id":"optimal-space-flight-navigation-ashish-tewari-9783030037888","title":"Optimal Space Flight Navigation: An Analytical Approach","description":"This book consolidates decades of knowledge on space flight navigation theory, which has thus far been spread across various research articles. By gathering this research into a single text, it will be more accessible to students curious about the study of space flight navigation. Books on optimal control theory and orbital mechanics have not adequately explored the field of space flight navigation theory until this point.\u003cbr\u003eThe opening chapters introduce essential concepts within optimal control theory, such as the optimization of static systems, special boundary conditions, and dynamic equality constraints. An analytical approach is focused on throughout, as opposed to computational. The result is a book that emphasizes simplicity and practicability, which makes it accessible and engaging. This holds true in later chapters that involve orbital mechanics, two-body maneuvers, bounded inputs, and flight in non-spherical gravity fields.\u003cbr\u003eThe intended audience is primarily upper-undergraduate students, graduate students, and researchers of aerospace, mechanical, and\/or electrical engineering. It will be especially valuable to those with interests in spacecraft dynamics and control. Readers should be familiar with basic dynamics and modern control theory. Additionally, a knowledge of linear algebra, variational methods, and ordinary differential equations is recommended.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ashish Tewari\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030037886\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030037888\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Birkhauser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/14\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Ashish Tewari","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48089040978175,"sku":"9783030037888","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bf822703-1a69-41ff-8f75-6d81485c00eb.jpg?v=1769107874","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/optimal-space-flight-navigation-ashish-tewari-9783030037888","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
