Methods of Orbit Determination for the Microcomputer

by Dan L. Boulet

The book describes how the principles of celestial mechanics may be applied to determine the orbits of planets, comets and Earth satellites. This is a how-to-do-it book. Even though the derivations of many important relationships are described in some detail, the emphasis throughout is on practical applications.
