It focuses on orbital mechanics with emphasis on two-body motion, orbit determination, and orbital maneuvers with applications in Earth-centered missions and interplanetary missions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSpace Flight Dynamics\u003c\/i\u003e presents wide-ranging information on a host of topics not always covered in competing books. It discusses relative motion, entry flight mechanics, low-thrust transfers, rocket propulsion fundamentals, attitude dynamics, and attitude control. The book is filled with illustrated concepts and real-world examples drawn from the space industry. Additionally, the book includes a “computational toolbox” composed of MATLAB M-files for performing space mission analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey features:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides practical, real-world examples illustrating key concepts throughout the book\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAccompanied by a website containing MATLAB M-files for conducting space mission analysis\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents numerous space flight topics absent in competing titles\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSpace Flight Dynamics\u003c\/i\u003e is a welcome addition to the field, ideally suited for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students studying aerospace engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCraig A.
