Description
This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the derivation of Lagrange's planetary equations and Gauss's variational equations, covering a key topic in astrodynamics and space missions.
The authors, all experienced experts in the field, guide readers through the derivation process step by step, providing a clear and rigorous understanding of possible analytical solutions. The book applies these equations to various interesting problems, including the Earth-Moon system and the effect of atmospheric drag on planetary orbits.
With its clear presentation and introduction of useful techniques such as averaging and Poincaré's method of small parameters, this textbook is an invaluable resource for students, engineers, and professionals in fields such as astrodynamics, astronomy, and physics.
