Space Trajectories\n\nBasic and Advanced Topics\n\nMax Cerf (Author)\n\n9781394293797, Wiley\n\nHardback, published 31 October 2024\n\n464 pages\n25.4 x 17.8 x 2.8 cm, 1.161 kg\n\nAn authoritative reference that covers essential concepts of orbital mechanics and explains how they relate to advanced space trajectory applications \nSpace Trajectories is the first book to offer a comprehensive exploration of orbital mechanics and trajectory optimization in a single volume. Beginning with a review of essential concepts, the book progresses to advanced space applications, highlighting methods used in today\u2019s space missions.\nThe contents are organized into three parts. The first part delves into free orbital motion, covering topics such as Keplerian motion, perturbed motion, the three-body problem, orbit determination, and collision risks in orbit. The second part focuses on controlled orbital motion, discussing impulsive transfer, orbital rendezvous, thrust level optimization, low-t]
