ISBN: 0792371488 ISBN-13: 9780792371489 Publisher: Springer OUR PRICE: $284.99 Product Type: Hardcover Published: January 2002 Annotation: Mission Geometry; Orbit and Constellation Design and Management (OCDM) is the most complete treatment available for many elements of space mission design and astronautics. Among these topics not covered elsewhere in the literature are:
OCDM discusses both the similarities and differences between orbit and altitude systems in terms of hardware, algorithms, design, and processing requirements. With the demand for reduced cost and the introduction of extensive on-board computing, what were once entirely separate disciplines have begun to merge. This volume will speed that process. In all areas, OCDM is meant to be practical, with recommendations, insights, formulas, and numerical recipes based on 40 years of spaceflight experience from organizations worldwide. It is meant to be both a text and reference work that can be used by those entering the field and by senior engineers engaged in the design, analysis, construction, or on-orbit operations of orbit and attitude systems and components.
