Introduction to Orbital Mechanics and Space Flight: Second Edition

By Andrew Motes

This book introduces orbital mechanics for near-Earth orbits using a unique method with limited mathematics. You will learn orbital mechanics by using basic physics and one equation of motion to simulate space flight. It comes with 3D, Windows-OS-based executable software for predicting spacecraft flight trajectory and designing space missions. It is intended for engineers and physicists who work in the space industry or want to work in the space industry. It's best understood if you have an understanding of calculus, trigonometry, and vector mathematics. After reading this book you should be able to understand and design your own space missions using the software provided.
