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. 606 $aAerospace engineering 606 $aAstronautics 606 $aGeophysics 606 $aSpace sciences 606 $aRemote sensing 606 $aAerospace Technology and Astronautics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17050 606 $aGeophysics/Geodesy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G18009 606 $aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030 606 $aRemote Sensing/Photogrammetry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J13010 615 0$aAerospace engineering. 615 0$aAstronautics. 615 0$aGeophysics. 615 0$aSpace sciences. 615 0$aRemote sensing. 615 14$aAerospace Technology and Astronautics. 615 24$aGeophysics/Geodesy. 615 24$aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics). 615 24$aRemote Sensing/Photogrammetry. 676 $a500.5 676 $a520 676 $a526.1 676 $a550 700 $aCapderou$b Michel$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0862552 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299718803321 996 $aHandbook of Satellite Orbits$91925282 997 $aUNINA
