Fundamentals of Astrodynamics

open access: yes, 2015
One of the most important uses of vector analysis (cf. Appendix A) is in the concise formulation of physical laws and the derivation of other results from these laws. We will develop and use the differential equations of motion for a body moving under the influence of a gravitational force only. In Chap.

Using visualisations to develop skills in astrodynamics [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Engineering Education, 2020
Learning about the geometry and kinematics of bodies and their trajectories through space (or ‘astrodynamics’) is challenging due to its three-dimensional nature. To address this, the University of Bristol have developed simulation exercises for students

Time-Delayed Feedback Control in Astrodynamics

open access: yesJournal of Guidance, Control, and Dynamics, 2009
In this paper we present time-delayed feedback control (TDFC) for the purpose of autonomously driving trajectories of nonlinear systems into periodic orbits.

THE HISTORY AND BACKGROUND OF ASTRODYNAMICS

Acta Astronautica, 1989
Abstract The history of astrodynamics began with Newton's Principia, 300 years ago. Newton's laws of motion and law of gravitation, with small modifications, are still applicable today and are being used in space research. The orbiting of the first artificial satellite renewed interest in celestial mechanics which applied the Newtonian laws to the ...

Astrodynamics

2005
Abstract Astrodynamics, which includes the topics of orbital mechanics, celestial mechanics, and dynamical astronomy, is the study of the motion of natural and artificial bodies in space. Its fundamental objective is to determine and predict the position of celestial bodies on which the dominating force is gravity.
