Computational Space Flight Mechanics

Computational Space Flight Mechanics by Claus Weiland.

The mechanics of space flight is an old discipline. Its topic originally was the motion of planets, moons and other celestial bodies in gravitational fields. Kepler's (1571 - 1630) observations and measurements have led to probably the first mathematical description of planet's motion. New...
