Product Description
This important monograph contains a comprehensive overview of classical dynamics, providing a solid basis on which to build an understanding of the theory of interplanetary flights. The treatment of the topic is complete and clear, and is based on both historical and topical perspectives. The theoretical development is illustrated with a number of practical examples, bringing to bear the author’s wealth of experience gained from working on the Soviet space programme… More >>

Theory of Interplanetary Flights

Product Description
This symposium was devoted to a new celestial mechanics whose aim has become the study of such `objects’ as the planetary system, planetary rings, the asteroidal belt, meteor swarms, satellite systems, comet families, the zodiacal cloud, the preplanetary nebula, etc. When the three-body problem is considered instead of individual orbits we are, now, looking for the topology of extended regions of its phase space. This Symposium was one step in the effort to cl… More >>

Chaos, Resonance and Collective Dynamical Phenomena in the Solar System

Product Description
This work describes the fundamental principles, problems, and methods of classical mechanics. The authors have endeavored to give an exposition stressing the working apparatus of classical mechanics, rather than its physical foundations or applications. Chapter 1 is devoted to the fundamental mathematical models which are usually employed to describe the motion of real mechanical systems. Chapter 2 presents the n-body problem as a generalization of the 2-body proble… More >>
