This
book provides readers with a clear description of the types of lunar and
interplanetary trajectories, and how they influence satellite-system design.
The description follows an engineering rather than a mathematical approach and
includes many examples of lunar trajectories, based on real missions. It helps
readers gain an understanding of the driving subsystems of interplanetary and
lunar satellites. The tables and graphs showing features of trajectories make
the book easy to understand.
"This book could be described as 'precise'? the
book has more than enough numerical data without adding the analytics. And the
information flows along smoothly, as if presenting a case study so the reader
won't get overwhelmed. ? this book presents what appears to be a carefully
chosen mix of useful data and background information. ? this book will have you
appreciating all that's involved with travelling in space." (Mark Mortimer, universetoday.com,
