    The textbook takes its title from an elective course that has been taught for over 20 years on orbital mechanics. It develops the subject starting from Newton's laws of motion and the law of gravitation to prove Kepler's laws of planetary motion.

    The textbook covers orbital mechanics by determining how to get a spacecraft to its destination using limited propellant. It also covers gravity assist maneuvers, complex spacecraft trajectories, Kepler's equation, Lambert's time-of-flight equation, the rocket equation, and equations of relative motion.

    Important results derived from first principles include Kepler's equation, Lambert's time-of-flight equation, the rocket equation, the Hill-Clohessy-Wiltshire equations of relative motion, Gauss' equations for the variation of the elements, and the Gauss and Laplace methods of orbit determination.

    Orbital Mechanics by John E. Prussing, Bruce A. Conway


    One of the major challenges of modern space mission design is the orbital
    mechanics -- determining how to get a spacecraft to its destination using a
    limited amount of propellant. Recent missions such as Voyager and Galileo
    required gravity assist maneuvers at several planets to accomplish their
    objectives. Today's students of aerospace engineering face the challenge of
    calculating these types of complex spacecraft trajectories. This classroom-tested
    textbook takes its title from an elective course which has been taught to senior
    undergraduates and first-year graduate students for the past 22 years. The subject
    of orbital mechanics is developed starting from the first principles, using
    Newton's laws of motion and the law of gravitation to prove Kepler's empirical
    laws of planetary motion. Unlike many texts the authors also use first principles
    to derive other important results including Kepler's equation, Lambert's time-of-
    flight equation, the rocket equation, the Hill-Clohessy-Wiltshire equations of
    relative motion, Gauss' equations for the variation of the elements, and the Gauss
    and Laplace methods of orbit determination. The subject of orbit transfer receives
    special attention. Optimal orbit transfers such as the Hohmann transfer,
    minimum-fuel transfers using more than two impulses, and non-coplanar orbital
    transfer are discussed. Patched-conic interplanetary trajectories including
    gravity-assist maneuvers are the subject of an entire chapter and are particularly
    relevant to modern space missions.
