Description

Orbital Mechanics for Engineering Students: Revised Reprint (Aerospace Engineering)

Orbital Mechanics for Engineering Students, Fourth Edition, is a foundational text tailored for students of aerospace engineering. Written by Howard D. Curtis, Ph.D. of Purdue University, this volume maintains a strong teach-by-example philosophy, prioritizing analytical procedures and computer-implemented algorithms. The text is highly illustrated and designed to provide all the necessary tools for a deep understanding of the subject, including comprehensive support through MATLAB algorithms for practical and project-based work.

This revised edition has been updated with critical new content to reflect modern aerospace challenges. It introduces a dedicated chapter on the circular restricted 3-body problem, exploring low-energy trajectories. Furthermore, it presents the latest advancements in interplanetary mission design, covering non-Hohmann transfers and lunar missions, and includes a wealth of new and revised examples to reinforce learning and application.

Key Features and Updates:

  • A new chapter focusing on the circular restricted 3-body problem and low-energy trajectories.
  • Updated coverage of interplanetary mission design, including non-Hohmann transfers and lunar mission profiles.
  • Revised sample problems and examples that emphasize practical analytical procedures.
  • Integration of computer algorithms and support for MATLAB-based projects.
