Description
Although its aim is to provide the engineer and scientist with a concise treatment of the basic elements of orbital mechanics, this book should also be suitable for senior undergraduate and graduate courses. The author begins with a discussion of the physics of the two-body problem, then enters into a discussion of launching satellites into orbit.
