Orbital Mechanics by John E. Prussing, Bruce A. Conway

One of the major challenges of modern space mission design is the orbital
mechanics -- determining how to get a spacecraft to its destination using a
limited amount of propellant. Recent missions such as Voyager and Galileo
required gravity assist maneuvers at several planets to accomplish their
objectives. Today's students of aerospace engineering face the challenge of
calculating these types of complex spacecraft trajectories. This classroom-tested
textbook takes its title from an elective course which has been taught to senior
undergraduates and first-year graduate students for the past 22 years. The subject
of orbital mechanics is developed starting from the first principles, using
Newton's laws of motion and the law of gravitation to prove Kepler's empirical
laws of planetary motion. Unlike many texts the authors also use first principles
to derive other important results including Kepler's equation, Lambert's time-of-
flight equation, the rocket equation, the Hill-Clohessy-Wiltshire equations of
relative motion, Gauss' equations for the variation of the elements, and the Gauss
and Laplace methods of orbit determination. The subject of orbit transfer receives
special attention. Optimal orbit transfers such as the Hohmann transfer,
minimum-fuel transfers using more than two impulses, and non-coplanar orbital
transfer are discussed. Patched-conic interplanetary trajectories including
gravity-assist maneuvers are the subject of an entire chapter and are particularly
relevant to modern space missions.
