Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies in Astronautics, Volume 1: Optimal Space Trajectories focuses on the concept of optimal transfer and the problem of optimal space trajectories. It examines the relative performances of the various propulsion systems (classical and electrical propulsions) and their optimization (optimal mass breakdown), along with parametric and functional optimizations and optimal transfers in an arbitrary, uniform, and central gravitational field. Organized into 13 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of optimal transfer and the modeling of propulsion systems. It then discusses the Hohmann transfer, the Hoelker and Silber bi-elliptical transfer, and the deficiencies of parametric optimization. The book explains the canonical transformation, optimization of the thrust law using the Maximum Principle, and optimal orbit corrections. The time-free orbital transfers and time-fixed orbital transfers and rendezvous are also discussed. Moreover, this volume explains the classical high-thrust and electric low-thrust propulsion systems and rendezvous between two planets. This book is written primarily for engineers who specialize in aerospace mechanics and want to pursue a career in the space industry or space research. It also introduces students to the different aspects of the problem of optimal space trajectories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past decade there has been a remarkable growth of interest in problems of systems optimization and of optimal control. And with this interest has come an increasing need for methods useful for rendering systems optimum. Rising to meet this challengc there have sprung up various "schools, often championing onc method and regarding it superior to all others. Long experience has shown that life is not so simple, that the picture is not all white and black. In short, one may expect that a particular method is superior to others for the solution of some problems-rarely for all problems. Furthermore, since the basic mathematical formulation of optimization problems is often essentially the same in many approaches, it is not unreasonable to expect that there may be a great deal of similarity among various methods, a similarity - often, indeed, an identity-which is obscured by dissimilarities in language and notation. To help the uncommitted in his search for and rhoice of the optimum optimization technique is the fundamental aim of this volume. To accomplish this aim there are assembled in one book ten chapters dealing &h the various methods currently espoused for the solution of problems in systems optimization and optimal control. The choice of authors has been dictated solely by a consideration of an author's interest and expertiless in a particular method. With the advantages of such an eclectic approach and the ensuing multiple authorship there comes some loss of smoothness of over - all presentation, for which the Editor must take the sole blame. On the one hand, correlation between the various chapters has been achieved by cross-referencing; on the other hand, each chapter can be read as a separate entity setting forth the technique championed by a particular "School. While each of the ten chapters dealing with methods includes simple examples, primarily for didactic purposes, it has been thought useful to present four additional chapters dealing with applications alone. Of these, the first three, Chapters 11-13, cover specific optimization problems, and the final chapter contains a discussion of problems in the optimization of a complete system, in this case a nuclear propulsion system.
