Long established as one of the premier references in the fields of
astronomy, planetary science, and physics, the fourth edition of
Orbital Motion continues to offer comprehensive coverage of the
analytical methods of classical celestial mechanics while
introducing the recent numerical experiments on the orbital
evolution of gravitating masses and the astrodynamics of artificial
satellites and interplanetary probes. Following detailed reviews of
earlier editions by distinguished lecturers in the USA and Europe,
the author has carefully revised and updated this edition. Each
chapter provides a thorough introduction to prepare you for more
complex concepts, reflecting a consistent perspective and cohesive
organization that is used throughout the book. A noted expert in
the field, the author not only discusses fundamental concepts, but
also offers analyses of more complex topics, such as modern
galactic studies and dynamical parallaxes. New to the Fourth
Edition: * Numerous updates and reorganization of all chapters to
encompass new methods * New results from recent work in areas such
as satellite dynamics * New chapter on the Caledonian symmetrical
n-body problem Extending its coverage to meet a growing need for
this subject in satellite and aerospace engineering, Orbital
Motion, Fourth Edition remains a top reference for postgraduate and
advanced undergraduate students, professionals such as engineers,
and serious amateur astronomers.
