"Orbital Mechanics for Engineering Students" by Howard Curtis is a comprehensive and well-written book on the subject of orbital mechanics. The book is written in a clear and concise manner, making it easy for students to follow along and understand the concepts presented. It covers a wide range of topics, including Kepler's laws, orbital elements, orbital maneuvers, and interplanetary transfers. One of the strengths of the book is its numerous examples and exercises, which help to reinforce the concepts learned. The author also includes a number of real-world applications of orbital mechanics, such as satellite orbit determination and rendezvous and docking. Another notable aspect of the book is its use of MATLAB and numerical methods to solve problems. This approach is particularly useful for engineering students who will likely encounter real-world problems that require numerical solutions. Overall, "Orbital Mechanics for Engineering Students" is an excellent resource for anyone studying or working in the field of aerospace engineering. It provides a thorough and accessible introduction to the subject, and its emphasis on real-world applications and numerical methods make it particularly valuable.
This book has been the book for our senior course for the past few years. This is the first year we will use the 4th edition.
A minor update on an already-great textbook (the 3rd edition). Lunar trajectories are a welcomed addition.
