Ed. by Bobby G. Williams et al. Am. Astronautical Society 2006 2854 pages $520.00 Hardcover Advances in the astronautical sciences series; v.123: 3 parts TL787 This three-volume set was published by Univelt for the American Astronautical Society Formed in 1954, the American Astronautical Society (AAS) is the premier independent scientific and technical group in the United States exclusively dedicated to the advancement of space science and exploration. (AAS), which hosted the August 2005 conference; the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) is the professional society for the field of aerospace engineering. The AIAA was founded in 1963 from the merger of four earlier societies: the American Rocket Society (ARS), founded in 1930 as the (AIAA) was co-sponsor (the two organizations have taken turns hosting the annual gathering since the 1960s). The conference attracted participants from 12 countries outside the US. One hundred and fifty-nine contributions are presented in sections on the following themes: neutral and satellite drag; attitude dynamics and control The attitude of a body is its orientation as perceived in a certain frame of reference; providing a vector along which a spacecraft is pointing is a description of its attitude. Dynamics is the term for the modeling of changing conditions, due to external forces acting on the body. ; mission design; satellite constellations and formation flying; guidance, navigation, and control; orbital dynamics; space debris and collision probability; orbit determination; tethers and large space structures; trajectory design and optimization; atmospheric entry/reentry breakup analysis; low thrust mission and trajectory design; and libration point trajectories. The included CD-ROM contains the contents in a searchable format. ([c]20062005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR) |
