Sommario/riassunto

Essential Spaceflight Dynamics and Magnetospherics describes, in the first instance, some of the key aspects of celestial mechanics and spaceflight dynamics. It begins with classical two and three body problems illustrative of the aesthetic aspects of applying analytical methods of investigation to celestial mechanics. Then, osculating orbital elements are introduced as well as analysis techniques sufficient



to evaluate the influence of various disturbing forces on spacecraft. Next a theory of manoeuvres is outlined and the methodology of making interplanetary trajectory corrections. Ideas involving various approaches to orbital element determinations using measured data are also considered. The forces applied to a spacecraft can result in the development of torques that influence attitude motion and the effects of the most important of these are described in terms of equilibrium positions, periodic motions, steady-state and transient motions. Also considered is the problem of attitude control of a spacecraft using active and/or passive methods of orientation and stabilization. In addition, a more advanced treatment of the development of attitude control systems is provided.

Sommario/riassunto

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Workshop on Software Engineering for Resilient Systems, SERENE 2017, held in Geneva; Switzerland, in September 2017.  The 11 papers presented together with 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 16 submissions. They cover the following areas: modeling and specification; safety and security; fault tolerance,



resilience and robustness software.
