Theory of Orbit Determination 1st Edition by Andrea Milani (PDF)

Description

Determining orbits for natural and artificial celestial bodies is an essential step in the exploration and understanding of the Solar System. However, recent progress in the quality and quantity of data from astronomical observations and spacecraft tracking has generated orbit determination problems which cannot be handled by classical algorithms. This book presents new algorithms capable of handling the millions of bodies which could be observed by next generation surveys, and which can fully exploit tracking data with state-of-the-art levels of accuracy. After a general mathematical background and summary of classical algorithms, the new algorithms are introduced using the latest mathematical tools and results, to which the authors have personally contributed. Case studies based on actual astronomical surveys and space missions are provided, with applications of these new methods. Intended for graduate students and researchers in applied mathematics, physics, astronomy and aerospace engineering, this book is also of interest to non-professional astronomers.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Like other potential readers of this title, I have been plenty awareof its expected completion date (by late 2009), and have patientlywaited for more than one year for it to be finally released by Cambridge.What I received early january 2010 was an unacceptable incomplete work,missing all the referenced appendices through the text …From a respected publisher (like Cambridge) and prolific authors (like the onesauthoring this title), this kind of “in a hurry” release of incomplete materialshould not be expected …All the referenced appendices cited in text were simply not providedon the printed edition, with just a simple note to a web page were suchmissing material could be retrieved …Be assured that the provided web page although already existing,do not hold up to now any of the referenced appendices in the text …As an example of a reference to missing Appendix material, on page 39the authors presents: “Formulae to express explicitly the solutions ofthe two-body problem are available in Appendix A.”, were no such printedAppendix do indeed exist on the actually published edition of this book …It seems the authors have been faced with some sort of deadline constraint,imposed by the publisher, and thus opted for releasing the title”as it were” (without the Appendices), in order to have it finalypublished.In my opinion this is not the usually expected way of concludinga serious and laborious task like this one, since it leaves thereader with the overall impression of having acquired an incompletework, prematurely released due to some sort of publishing pressure.Note that my 1 star review Rating was not pertinent to the Technicalcontent of the book (Mathematical, Physical or Celestial Mechanics /Dynamics), but due to the lack of completness, with unacceptablemissing material to referenced Appendices, which could not onlybe found on the printed pages but yet nor either on the indicatedcomplementar web page (which were expected to be available for so)

⭐Sono uno studente di dottorato proprio in questa disciplina, e questo è un testo di riferimento eccellente, senza dubbio consigliato! Difficile per le prime volte che lo si legge.
