Progressing from basic dynamic principles to advanced energy concepts, the advanced textbook introduces Newtonian mechanics, rigid body kinematics, Eulerian mechanics, analytical dynamics, and nonlinear spacecraft stability and control. The second half of the book develops equations for solving two-and three-body problems, and addresses gravity field modeling, perturbation methods, transfer orbits, and spacecraft formation flying. The third edition adds sections on deterministic attitude estimation and variable speed control moment gyroscopes, and an appendix on the MRP Kalman filter.
