Learning Outcomes

Goal of the module is to develop a groundlaying knowledge in the basics of space flight mechanics. The course covers all types of orbits and their disturbances, covering the laws of celestial mechanics, time and reference systems. For the students it is important to develop skills in solving mathematical navigational problems under usage of solving algorithms. The competencies gained are systematically analysing problems, developing qualitative solutions and programming software.

Content

- Two-body problem - Undisturbed satellite orbits - Time and reference systems - Gravitative and non-gravitative forces - Perturbation theory - Orbit integration - Special orbits - Relative motion - Interplanetary orbits and ascension - Special problems of orbital mechanics - Impulsive orbit transitions - Re-entry of spacecraft - Applications
