This volume is designed as an introductory text and reference book
for graduate students, researchers and practitioners in the fields
of astronomy, astrodynamics, satellite systems, space sciences and
astrophysics. The purpose of the book is to emphasize the
similarities between celestial mechanics and astrodynamics, and to
present recent advances in these two fields so that the reader can
understand the inter-relations and mutual influences. The
juxtaposition of celestial mechanics and astrodynamics is a unique
approach that is expected to be a refreshing attempt to discuss
both the mechanics of space flight and the dynamics of celestial
objects.

“Celestial Mechanics and Astrodynamics: Theory and Practice” also
presents the main challenges and future prospects for the two
fields in an elaborate, comprehensive and rigorous manner. The book
presents homogenous and fluent discussions of the key problems,
rendering a portrayal of recent advances in the field together with
some basic concepts and essential infrastructure in orbital
mechanics. The text contains introductory material followed by a
gradual development of ideas interweaved to yield a coherent
presentation of advanced topics.
