An introduction to orbital mechanics and spacecraft attitude dynamicsFoundations of Space Dynamics offers an authoritative text that combines a comprehensive review of both orbital mechanics and dynamics. The author?a noted expert in the field?covers up-to-date topics including: orbital perturbations, Lambert's transfer, formation flying, and gravity-gradient stabilization. The text provides an introduction to space dynamics in its entirety, including important analytical derivations and practical space flight examples.Written in an accessible and concise style, Foundations of Space Dynamics highlights analytical development and rigor, rather than numerical solutions via ready-made computer codes. To enhance learning, the book is filled with helpful tables, figures, exercises, and solved examples.This important book:* Covers space dynamics with a systematic and comprehensive approach* Is designed to be a practical text filled with real-world examples* Contains information on the most current applications* Includes up-to-date topics from orbital perturbations to gravity- gradient stabilization* Offers a deep understanding of space dynamics often lacking in other textbooksWritten for undergraduate and graduate students and professionals in aerospace engineering, Foundations of Space Dynamics offers an introduction to the most current information on orbital mechanics and dynamics.

This is the first book on adaptive aeroservoelasticity and it presents the nonlinear and recursive techniques for adaptively controlling the uncertain aeroelastic dynamics* Covers both linear and nonlinear control methods in a comprehensive manner* Mathematical presentation of adaptive control concepts is rigorous* Several novel applications of adaptive control presented here are not to be found in other literature on the topic* Many realistic design examples are covered, ranging from adaptive flutter suppression of wings to the adaptive control of transonic limit-cycle oscillations

This text outlines the concepts of modern control theory applied to the design and analysis of general flight control systems in a concise and mathematically rigorous style. It presents a comprehensive treatment of atmospheric and space flight control systems including aircraft, rockets and entry vehicles and spacecraft.

In this book, Tewari emphasizes the physical principles and engineering applications of modern control system design. Instead of detailing the mathematical theory, MATLAB examples are used throughout.
