Description and Table of Contents
Description
The analysis and computational techniques associated with the navigation and guidance of spacecraft are now in a mature state of development. This text brings together a body of literature on the subject, including conference papers, journals, company and contract reports, covering in detail the necessary orbital mechanics, orbit determination with emphasis on the SRIF algorithm, gravity assist manoeuvres and guidance, both ground-based and autonomous. Attention is paid to all phases of a space mission, including launch and re-entry, and whether culminating in an earth satellite or a deep space mission to planets or primitive bodies.
