Dynamical Systems, the Three-Body Problem and Space Mission Design

by Jerrold E. Marsden, Martin W. Lo, Wang Sang Koon, et al.

Explores low-energy passageways in space that could slash the amount of fuel spacecraft need to explore and develop our solar system. This book develops tools for the design of trajectories that take full advantage of natural three or more body dynamics, thereby saving precious fuel and gaining flexibility in mission planning.
