Product Description
This is a modern textbook that guides the reader through the theory and practice of satellite orbit prediction and determination. Starting from the basic principles of orbital mechanics, it covers elaborate force models as well as precise methods of satellite tracking. Emphasis is on numerical treatment and a multitude of algorithms adopted in modern satellite trajectory computation are described in detail. The accompanying CD-ROM includes all source codes written in C++ and relevant data files for applications. The result is a powerful and unique spaceflight dynamics library which allows easy software extensions by the user. An extensive collection of Internet resources is provided through WWW hyperlinks to detailed and frequently updated online information on spaceflight dynamics. The book addresses students, scientist working in the field of navigation, geodesy and spaceflight technology and satellite engineers and operators focusing on spaceflight dynamics. |

good coverage of topics and clearly written by Paul (Philadelphia)  5 Stars
April 22, 2009
I needed a book giving a clear introduction to the basics of satellite ranging. Among all the books suggested, this one had exactly what I needed. The explanation was clear and at just the right level. Equations were sufficient to explain the math clearly without being too complicated for the general reader. I highly recommend this book!

Covers Everything I Needed by B. Morris 5 Stars
June 09, 2008
I am just a programmer. I use some of the older, classic literature to write algorithms to track low-earth satellites. I'm not a math major. This book is an excellent addition because it helps me to understand how to connect orbital concepts with the math. It is short and to the point. The book's construction quality is excellent!

Perfect by A. Morgado Juez (Madrid, Spain) 5 Stars
March 09, 2008
Perfect book, even if it's not completely up to date (not covering IERS conventions 2003). It's my reference book of satellite orbit determination.

This is NO Satellite Orbits for Dummies..... by N. P. Duvenage (Johannesburg, South Africa) 5 Stars
August 24, 2007
I found this book to be extremely well written with just the right mix of explanation and formulaes.
I bought this book in order to complete a project for a University assignment and the CD containing all of the source code in the book, made my life much easier. I could quickly whip up a working prototype of exactly what I needed.
I would recommend this to anyone for who was wondering how Physics and the laws of Nature relate to equations and programming.
To the authors, thank you for a wonderful book - bringing me up to speed in a few short weeks on a very complex subject.
