Themechanicsofspace?ightisan
olddiscipline.Itstopicoriginallywasthemotion of planets, moons and
other celestial bodies in gravitational ?elds. Kepler's (1571 -
1630) observations and measurements have led to probably the ?rst
mathematical description of planet's motion. Newton (1642 - 1727)
gave then, with the devel- ment of his principles of mechanics, the
physical explanation of these motions. Since then man has started
in the second half of the 20th centuryto capture ph- ically the
Space in the sense that he did develop arti?cial celestial bodies,
which he brought into Earth's orbits, like satellites or space
stations, or which he did send to planets or moons of our planetary
system, like probes, or by which p- ple were brought to the moon
and back, like capsules. Further he developed an advanced space
transportation system, the U.S. Space Shuttle Orbiter, which is the
only winged space vehicle ever in operation. In the last two and a
half decades there were several activities in the world in order to
succeed the U.S. Orbiter, like the HERMES project in Europe, the
HOPE project in Japan, the X-33, X-34 and X-37 studies and
demonstrators in the United States and the joint U.S. - European
project X-38. However, all these projects were cancelled. The
motion of these vehicles can be described by Newton's equation of
motion.
