Description
This book presents recent advances in space and
celestial mechanics, with a focus on the N-body
problem and astrodynamics, and explores the development and application of computational techniques in both
areas. It highlights the design of space transfers with various modes of
propulsion, like solar sailing and low-thrust transfers between libration point
orbits, as well as a broad range of targets and applications, like rendezvous
with near Earth objects. Additionally, it includes contributions on the
non-integrability properties of the collinear three- and four-body problem, and
on general conditions for the existence of stable, minimum energy
configurations in the full N-body problem.
A valuable resource for physicists and mathematicians with research interests in celestial
mechanics, astrodynamics and optimal control as applied to space
transfers, as well as for professionals and companies in the industry.
