Fundamentals of Astrodynamics and Applications
Series: Space Technology Library, Vol. 21

Software routines in the book are available for free in FORTRAN,


PASCAL, and C
Improved and expanded coverage of coordinate systems, orbit
determination, etc.

This book is rapidly becoming the standard astrodynamics reference for those involved in
the business of spaceflight. What sets this book apart is that nearly all of the theoretical
mathematics is followed by discussions of practical applications implemented in tested
software routines. For example, the book includes a compendium of algorithms that allow
students and professionals to determine orbits with high precision using a PC. When an
astrodynamics problem arises in the future, it will become standard practice for engineers
to keep this volume close at hand.

While the first edition was an exceptionally useful and popular book, there are a number
3rd ed. 2007, XXI, 1055 p. of reasons why the second edition will be even more so. There are many reworked
examples and derivations. Newly introduced topics include ground illumination
calculations, Moon rise and set, and a listing of relevant Internet sites. There is an
Printed book improved and expanded discussion of coordinate systems, orbit determination, and
differential correction. Perhaps most important is that all of the software routines
