Description

Fundamentals of Astrodynamics is a widely used textbook in the astrodynamics and aerospace engineering communities. The second edition, published in 2020, brings the subject up to date with the latest developments in information technology. This comprehensive text focuses on the universal variable formulation, while also discussing classical methods. The book builds on the basic two-body and n-body equations of motion, covering topics such as orbit determination, coordinate transformations, and differential correction. The text includes detailed treatment of the Kepler and Gauss problems, as well as applications to the ballistic missile problem. Perturbations, integration schemes, and error analysis are also introduced, along with example problems and exercises. Four helpful appendixes conclude the book.
