Beschreibung

Thisbook provides readers with a clear description of the types of lunar andinterplanetary trajectories, and how they influence satellite-system design.The description follows an engineering rather than a mathematical approach andincludes many examples of lunar trajectories, based on real missions. It helpsreaders gain an understanding of the driving subsystems of interplanetary andlunar satellites. The tables and graphs showing features of trajectories makethe book easy to understand.

Rezensionen

"This book could be described as 'precise'... the book has more than enough numerical data without adding the analytics. And the information flows along smoothly, as if presenting a case study so the reader won't get overwhelmed. ... this book presents what appears to be a carefully chosen mix of useful data and background information. ... this book will have you appreciating all that's involved with travelling in space."
