The specific orbits are important for the proper functioning of the satellites. This book discusses the great variety of satellite orbits, both in shape (circular to highly elliptical) and properties (geostationary, Sun-synchronous, etc.). This volume starts with an introduction into geodesy. This is followed by a presentation of the fundamental equations of mechanics to explain and demonstrate the properties for all types of orbits. Numerous examples are included, obtained through IXION software developed by the author. The book also includes an exposition of the historical background that is necessary to help the reader understand the main stages of scientific thought from Kepler to GPS. This book is intended for researchers, teachers and students working in the field of satellite technology. Engineers, geographers and all those involved in space exploration will find this information valuable. Michel Capderou’s book is an essential treatise in orbital mechanics for all students, lecturers and practitioners in this field, as well as other aerospace systems engineers. —Charles Elachi, Director, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory.Aerospace engineeringAstronauticsGeophysicsSpace sciencesRemote sensingAerospace Technology and Astronauticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17050Geophysics/Geodesyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G18009Space Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030Remote Sensing/Photogrammetryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J13010Aerospace engineering.Astronautics.Geophysics.Space sciences.Remote sensing.Aerospace Technology and Astronautics.Geophysics/Geodesy.Space Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics).Remote Sensing/Photogrammetry.500.5520526.1550Capderou Michelauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut862552BOOK9910299718803321Handbook of Satellite Orbits1925282UNINA
