Book Description
This Technical Note presents a general FORTRAN Code and computer program flowcharts for twelve different Preliminary Orbit Determination Methods (PODM). A number of solutions were obtained from each PODM using input data from a predetermined reference orbit. A comparison of these PODMs in their ability to converge, error propogation, computation time, and total computer core requirements is presented.

Orbital Mechanics for Engineering Students
Author: Howard D. Curtis
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080887848
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 740
Book Description
Orbital Mechanics for Engineering Students, Second Edition, provides an introduction to the basic concepts of space mechanics. These include vector kinematics in three dimensions; Newton's laws of motion and gravitation; relative motion; the vector-based solution of the classical two-body problem; derivation of Kepler's equations; orbits in three dimensions; preliminary orbit determination; and orbital maneuvers. The book also covers relative motion and the two-impulse rendezvous problem; interplanetary mission design using patched conics; rigid-body dynamics used to characterize the attitude of a space vehicle; satellite attitude dynamics; and the characteristics and design of multi-stage launch vehicles. Each chapter begins with an outline of key concepts and concludes with problems that are based on the material covered. This text is written for undergraduates who are studying orbital mechanics for the first time and have completed courses in physics, dynamics, and mathematics, including differential equations and applied linear algebra. Graduate students, researchers, and experienced practitioners will also find useful review materials in the book. - NEW: Reorganized and improved discusions of coordinate systems, new discussion on perturbations and quarternions - NEW: Increased coverage of attitude dynamics, including new Matlab algorithms and examples in chapter 10 - New examples and homework problems
