It is accompanied by the award winning educational software package 'Planets and Satellites' developed by the author. This book is written for a wide range of graduate and undergraduate students studying various courses in physics and astronomy. Motions of Celestial Bodies Computer simulations
In the second part, attention is given to the motion of artificial celestial bodies in the gravitational field of the basic planet, external perturbations regarding the motion of these bodies, the motion of the bodies in the earth-moon system, and periodic solutions. Subjects considered in the first part are related to basic problems, integration methods, and perturbation theory. The first part presents introductory material, and examines a number of general mathematical questions to provide a basis for the studies conducted in the second part. The difference between natural celestial bodies, which are ordinarily considered by celestial mechanics, and 'artificial' celestial bodies is discussed, taking into account hypothetical celestial bodies introduced in connection with mathematical developments and problems, invisible celestial bodies whose existence can be assumed on the basis of some plausible hypothesis, and man-made satellites of the earth. This book is concerned with the translational motion of 'artificial' celestial bodies. Celestial mechanics - Methods of the theory of motion of 'artificial' celestial bodies
