Description

Spacecraft flybys of satellites or planets are one of the basic maneuvers in space navigation because they allow for the transfer of energy within the Solar System in order to reach distant destinations and perform missions.

High Accuracy Orbit Determination for Spacecraft Flybys explores the application of numerical models in the determination of orbital flybys. Examining the impact of celestial coordinate systems on orbital maneuvers, a mathematical analysis of orbits, and an explanation of error in high accuracy calculation of flyby orbits, this video is ideally suited for aerospace engineering students, physicists, and researchers in celestial mechanics.

Topics Covered

  • Atmospheric Friction
  • Coordinate Systems
  • Flyby Anomaly
  • Geopotential Models
  • Gravitomagnetic Effects
  • Perturbation Theory
  • Tidal Forces
