Theory of Interplanetary Flights

Theory of Interplanetary Flights

Editorial Reviews
Review
...the theory is presented simply and quite thoroughly...The chief virtues of the book are its simplicity and clarity. The algebra is spelt out in a friendly way rather than being thrown at the reader, and this will be helpful to students...on the whole the book is a success, and usefully brings together most of the theory relevant to interplanetary flight.
-D.G. King-Hele of The Observatory

Book Description

This important monograph contains a comprehensive overview of classical dynamics, providing a solid basis on which to build an understanding of the theory of interplanetary flights. The treatment of the topic is complete and clear, and is based on both historical and topical perspectives. The theoretical development is illustrated with a number of practical examples, bringing to bear the author's wealth of experience gained from working on the Soviet space programme. Many examples are taken from current space missions - new data is included on the Shoemaker-Levy 9 comet, the flight of ULYSSES over the Solar poles, and the Voyager's tour of the Solar system.
