Quite easy to follow

I am not into such science but I enjoy showing that “i know Rocket Science”

Exactly what it says on the tin。 Covers how to calculate orbits， how to put things into orbits， how to transfer orbits， how to get stuff to the moon or other planets。 Very math heavy as you'd expect， I skimmed most of it because I was really just after an outline。Enjoyed the historical notes， i。e。 "this is how newton/kepler did it" which I'm always fascinated by。Probably should have brushed up on my calculus before diving into this。 Exactly what it says on the tin。 Covers how to calculate orbits， how to put things into orbits， how to transfer orbits， how to get stuff to the moon or other planets。 Very math heavy as you'd expect， I skimmed most of it because I was really just after an outline。Enjoyed the historical notes， i。e。 "this is how newton/kepler did it" which I'm always fascinated by。Probably should have brushed up on my calculus before diving into this。 。。。more

Pretty good for what it is， but way more maths than I expected before I opening this book。 Fortunately， the anecdotes and general insights into orbital mechanics are interesting even if you skip most of the formulas and calculations like I did。My suggestion to other armchair astronauts: you can play Kerbal Space Program for 4-5 hours and get an intuitive grasp of the concepts here much faster than reading the book。

What can I say？ There is about 400 years worth of science in this book， a book I bought for pocket change。 I do， although， recommend taking differential/integral/vector/multivariable calculus before hand。 This book pretty much requires a knowledge of those fields。 But， if you're familiar with most calculus， I recommend this book 1） for the price and 2） for a quick reference， especially if you're programming these types of forces in a simulation。 Online references are always sufficient， of course What can I say？ There is about 400 years worth of science in this book， a book I bought for pocket change。 I do， although， recommend taking differential/integral/vector/multivariable calculus before hand。 This book pretty much requires a knowledge of those fields。 But， if you're familiar with most calculus， I recommend this book 1） for the price and 2） for a quick reference， especially if you're programming these types of forces in a simulation。 Online references are always sufficient， of course， but this book has everything laid out in well ordered fashion。 。。。more

Lo sto leggendo e non l'ho ancora finito。。。 è molto bello perché spiega gli argomenti in maniera chiara， senza dare per scontato nulla， è richiesta （per lo meno fino a dove sono arrivato） solamente una conoscenza di base di fisica e di analisi matematica。Le figure non sono "belle" ma sono molto chiare。Unico difetto， non del contenuto， è che l'aspetto delle formule non è molto bello， non so come dire ma sono un po' storte。。。 una riscrittura in LaTeX sarebbe bellissima。 Lo sto leggendo e non l'ho ancora finito。。。 è molto bello perché spiega gli argomenti in maniera chiara， senza dare per scontato nulla， è richiesta （per lo meno fino a dove sono arrivato） solamente una conoscenza di base di fisica e di analisi matematica。Le figure non sono "belle" ma sono molto chiare。Unico difetto， non del contenuto， è che l'aspetto delle formule non è molto bello， non so come dire ma sono un po' storte。。。 una riscrittura in LaTeX sarebbe bellissima。 。。。more

The fundamental text on orbital mechanics。 If you need your missile to go ballistic or just want to throw something at the moon hard enough to hit it， this is a must-read。

A great book on astrodynamics。 I read nd referred to many times in the course of studies。 An subsequently re-read。 An easy to follow presentation by experienced instructors。

This is probably THE book for learning the basics of astrodynamics。
