2nd Edition. — IOP Publishing Ltd, 2023. — 140 p. — (AAS IOP Astronomy). — ISBN 978-0-7503-5606-0. Celestial mechanics is the crown jewel of Newtonian physics. Building on the observational and theoretical work of Galileo, Tycho, Copernicus, Kepler, and others, Isaac Newton deployed his hypothesized law of universal gravitation and his newly developed calculus to show why the...
Springer International Publishing, 2021. — 102 p. — ISBN 978-3-030-80185-4. Owing to the increased accuracy requirements in fields such as astrometry and geodesy the general theory of relativity must be taken into account for any mission requiring highly accurate orbit information and for practically all observation and measurement techniques. This book highlights the...
Brown Dog Books, 2021. — 354 p. — ISBN 978-1-83952-234-5. This book develops methods of computing astronomical phenomena from basic ideas. The position of a celestial body is defined by a vector, with components referred to a system of coordinate axes. The relations between various systems in regular use by astronomers are described. In cases where two systems differ in spatial...
Andrew Motes (Independently published), 2016. — 230 p. — ISBN: 978-1549606632. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand rocket science. This book shows how easy it is to understand space flight and orbital mechanics. In this book you'll learn how gravitational and centripetal forces cancel to enable orbits. You'll learn how orbits are classified and how to do...
