The present book Essential Spaceflight Dynamics and Magnetospherics
describes, in the first instance, some of the key aspects of
celestial mechanics and spaceflight dynamics. It begins with
classical two and three body problems illustrative of the aesthetic
aspects of applying analytical methods of investigation to
celestial mechanics. Then, osculating orbital elements are
introduced as well as analysis techniques sufficient to evaluate
the influence of various disturbing forces on spacecraft. Next a
theory of manoeuvres is outlined and the methodology of making
interplanetary trajectory corrections. Ideas involving various
approaches to orbital element determinations using measured data
are also considered. The forces applied to a spacecraft can result
in the development of torques that influence attitude motion and
the effects of the most important of these are described in terms
of equilibrium positions, periodic motions, steady-state and
transient motions. Also considered is the problem of attitude
control of a spacecraft using active and/or passive methods of
orientation and stabilization. In addition, a more advanced
treatment of the development of attitude control systems is
provided.
