This introductory text covers all the key concepts, relationships,
and ideas behind spaceflight and is the perfect companion for
students pursuing courses on or related to astronautics. As a crew
member of the STS-55 Space Shuttle mission and a full professor of
astronautics at the Technical University of Munich, Ulrich Walter
is an acknowledged expert in the field. This book is based on his
extensive teaching and work with students, and the text is backed
up by numerous examples drawn from his own experience. With its
end-of-chapter examples and problems, this work is suitable for
graduate level or even undergraduate courses in spaceflight, as
well as for professionals working in the space industry. This third
edition includes substantial revisions of several sections to
extend their coverage. These include both theoretical extensions
such as the study of relative motion in near-circular orbits, and
more practical matters such as additional details about jet-engine
and general rocket performance. New sections address regularized
equations of orbital motion and their algebraic solutions and also
state vector propagation; two new chapters are devoted to orbit
geometry and orbit determination and to thermal radiation physics
and modelling.
