Astrodynamics

This will serve as an introduction to the field , especially from a practical and mechanical point of view. We will focus on anthropogenic satellites and the dynamics of satellite orbit around the earth, moon and other "local" objects. We will look at practical applications, such as Earth orbits, lunar and interplanetary orbits, ballistic missiles, and interstellar escape routes.

• Basic Orbits
• Satellite Position and Velocity
• Perturbations
