It governs the satellites launched into an Earth orbit as well as lunar and interplanetary space exploration missions. The successful launching and operation of all spacecraft requires a good knowledge of space dynamics. Space dynamics can be divided into two broad categories: (i) orbital mechanics, and (ii) attitude dynamics. Orbital mechanics is a study of the translational motion of a spacecraft under the gravitational influence of either one or several large bodies. Attitude dynamics is the study of rotational motion of a rigid spacecraft about its own centre of mass, and includes both kinematical and kinetic description in terms of Euler angles, quaternion, or Rodrigues/modified Rodrigues parameters, and the angular velocity components."-- Provided by publisher.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
