Department of Aerospace Engineering
Synopsis:

The course is focused on astrodynamics and orbital mechanics. It deals with Keplerian and non-Keplerian trajectories, orbital maneuvring and attitude control and with computational methods in astrodynamics.

Requirements:

The student is expected to be familiar with basic terms of astronautics. It is recommended to take the courses on space technology previously.

Syllabus of lectures:

Two-body problem, orbital elements, restricted three-body problem, non-Keplerian motion, stability of orbits

Tsiolkovski equation, impulsive and continuous maneuvers, Lambert?s problem, transfer trajectories, rendezvous maneuvers, formation flying, dynamics of launch and reentry of space objects

Rotation of a rigid body, disturbing torques, active and passive attitude control of body, dynamics of control

Computational methods in astrodynamics, analytical/numerical methods, precision of methods

Syllabus of tutorials:
Study Objective:

The aim of course is to give the student an general understanding of the mechanics of space objects.
