This brief approaches General Relativity from a planetary
navigation perspective, delving into the unconventional
mathematical methods required to produce computer software for
space missions. It provides a derivation of the Einstein field
equations and describes experiments performed on the Near Earth
Asteroid Rendezvous mission, spanning General Relativity Theory
from the fundamental assumptions to experimental verification. The
software used for planetary missions is derived from mathematics
that use matrix notation. An alternative is to use Einstein
summation notation, which enables the mathematics to be presented
in a compact form but makes the geometry difficult to understand.
In this book, the relationship of matrix notation to summation
notation is shown. The purpose is to enable the reader to derive
the mathematics used in the software in either matrix notation or
summation notation. This brief is a useful tool for advanced
students and young professionals embarking on careers in planetary
navigation.
