Methods in Astrodynamics and Celestial Mechanics

The contents of this book represent the latest and some of the most interesting applications of the methods of celestial mechanics to problems of space engineering. This area of research involves advanced dynamical and astronomical theories and the application of such theories to the selection of new trajectories, the analysis of proposals for future new space experiments, and the setting of design parameters for proposed new spacecraft of the future. This book should prove useful for the solution of immediate engineering problems as well as for future concepts.
