Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on orbital motion in strongly perturbed environments, this book offers a technical introduction to analyzing motion around small Solar System bodies like comets and asteroids. It explores the significance of these bodies in orbital mechanics and presents modeling techniques for various scenarios, including binary asteroids and 'rubble piles.' The text covers fundamental equations of motion, ballistic and powered motion, and includes case studies of small body missions. It concludes with insights into multi-body systems and advanced topics for future applications.
