Since the start of the space age more than
50 years ago, various space
technology applications-including communication,
navigation, and remote
sensing-have advanced significantly. To meet the
challenges in each
application category, special orbits such as
geostationary, semisynchronous,
Molniya, sun-synchronous, and frozen have
been invented or selected. Although
a good number of texts on the principles
and applications of astrodynamics
have been published, a book is needed to
summarize the perturbation theories
and control, or stationkeeping, algorithms
for understanding the dynamics,
stability, and maintenance of those
orbits.
Applied Orbit Perturbations and
Maintenance was written to meet that need.
It summarizes, in appropriate
technical and mathematical detail, perturbation
theories and stationkeeping
algorithms for various types of mission orbits
and
constellations.
Space mission designers/analysts and
systems engineers will put this book
to great use.
