Product Description
This book provides a comprehensive treatment of dynamics of space systems starting with the basic fundamentals. This single source contains topics ranging from basic kinematics and dynamics to more advanced celestial mechanics; yet all material is presented in a consistent manner. The reader is guided through the various derivations and proofs in a tutorial way. The use of "cookbook" formulas is avoided. Instead, the reader is led to understand the underlying principle of the involved equations and shown how to apply them to various dynamical systems. The book is divided into two parts. Part I covers analytical treatment of topics such as basic dynamic principles up to advanced energy concept. Special attention is paid to the use of rotating reference frames that often occur in aerospace systems. Part II covers basic celestial mechanics treating the two-body problem, restricted three-body problem, gravity field modeling, perturbation methods, spacecraft formation flying, and orbit transfers. A Matlab kinematics toolbox provides routines which are developed in the rigid body kinematics chapter. A solutions manual is also available for professors.

 Solid Book November 2, 2006

Book is well-written and has enough material for two undergraduate courses and one graduate course on celestial mechanics.
 We'll see... January 2, 2009

Looking through my book list this semester, I saw this book listed for my graduate Attitude Dynamics course. "Hmm, who is this Schaub guy?"
Turns out, he's my professor! We'll see how this book works out. I've only heard good things so far.
