Introduction to Space Dynamics

Introduction to Space DynamicsAlthough this classic introduction to space flight engineering was first published not long after Sputnik was launched, the fundamental principles it elucidates are as varied today as then. The problems to which these principles are applied have changed, and the widespread use of computers has accelerated problem solving techniques, but this book is still a valuable basic text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of aerospace engineering.

Keen observations and a graphic style characterize the author's remarkable record of a vanishing frontier

This newly corrected edition of a classic in its field serves as a comprehensive review of both experiments and theories of detonation ― focusing on the steady (i
