Spacecraft Mission Design, Second Edition, takes the shortest route to practical understanding of mission design. It focuses on the most general and most practical tools needed for the early spacecraft design studies, including the principles of two-body motion, definition of orbits, orbital maneuvers, and central body observation. The use of elementary mathematics makes this concise book ideal for upper class college students, graduates, and practicing engineers or managers. There are enough worked examples that one can be self-taught.
This second edition includes astronomical reference material and sections on constellations, lunar trajectories, and cycler orbits. The software ORBWIN allows you to proceed directly from understanding into professional work. It provides the accuracy, speed, and convenience of personal computing. It defines all orbital elements for any orbit, provides the parameters at any orbital point, calculates spacecraft horizon, instrument field of view, orbit perturbations, ground track, planetary ephemeris, conversion of Julian days, oblique triangle solutions, and propellant weight projections. Any major body in the solar system may be used as the central body.
System Requirements: Windows 3.11 or higher, 8 Mb RAM, 3.5-inch disk drive.
A text/disk package emphasizing fundamentals of spacecraft mission design without going into details of the mathematical treatment of orbital mechanics and astrodynamics. Includes chapter problems, and hands-on projects on the accompanying disk. Can be used as an introductory text in aerospace engineering curricula. This second edition includes updated software compatible with Windows, and new material on lunar trajectories and cycler orbits. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Spacecraft Mission Design, Second Edition
A decent book discussing the changes that NASA has gone through since its inception. While there is nothing earth shattering here, you can see why general public support for space has been flagging since the days of the Apollo missions. Being involved in the aerospace industry, I already knew a lot of what was presented here, but for an amateur space enthusiast or anyone interested in why we have actually regressed in our space capabilities, this book gives most of the reasons why.
