Book Reviews of Fundamentals of Astrodynamics
Book Review: good basic undergraduate text
Summary: 4 Stars
Bate, Mueller and White's (BMW) Fundamentals of Astrodynamics was written
initially for cadets at the US Air Force Academy to provide them
with an overview of space dynamics, coordinate systems and orbital
mechanics. BMW is a good "guided tour" of the subject, but has
weaknesses in areas such as the two-point boundary-value problem,
and in the theory of perturbations. When used as a text or reference
handbook for basic two-body orbital problems, BMW is a quick,
inexpensive and reliable guide. More sophisticated references should
be consulted for more sophisticated problems. A must on every
satellite engineer or trajectory analyst's bookshelf.
