This text offers the three dimensional treatment of dynamics necessary for undergraduate aeronautics courses in spacecraft dynamics and orbital mechanics. Coverage includes discussions of rigid body dynamics, rocket trajectories and the space environment. Reference is frequently made to actual fight vehicles and satellites to give students background on the current work done in this field. Examples illustrate course topics such as orbital mechanics, aircraft navigation, celestial mechanics, reentry dynamics and interplanetary trajectories. This edition also includes notation for vector derivatives and rotation rates.
