| Synopsis: |
The subject of astrodynamics is of particular interest at this critical juncture for space projects in the wake of the Columbia disaster. This volume, based on a conference sponsored by NASA and Princeton University, comprises papers on the applications of chaos and dynamical systems (including considerations of asteroid pairs, near-Earth objects, and asteroidal dust); formation flying; optimization, guidance, and control systems; mission design; orbit dynamics; and propulsion, including material on NASA's major intiative, Project Prometheus. The volume is also of value to mathematicians for its discussion of chaos-related issues; to astronomers, astrodynamicists, and planetary geologists for its blueprint for the methodology of future space exploration; and to engineers for its discussion of innovations in space propulsion systems. It is also a must-read for commercial, economic, and military policymakers. |
