Theory of Orbit Determination

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Determining orbits is an essential step in the exploration and understanding of the Solar System. This book presents new algorithms which can fully exploit tracking data with state-of-the-art levels of accuracy. It will interest graduate students and researchers in applied mathematics, physics, astronomy and aerospace engineering, and non-professional astronomers.
