Designed to be used as a graduate student textbook and a reference for the professional, this third edition is structured to make it easier for users to look up the things they need to know. It includes contemporary developments in space exploration (eg, Galileo, Cassini, Mars Odyssey missions). Also, the chapter on space debris has been rewritten to reflect developments in that area. The chapters cover basic aspects off orbital mechanics, from celestial relationships to the problems of space debris. The book is written in language that should be familiar to space professionals and graduate students, with all of the equations, diagrams, and graphs provided. The accompanying CD-ROM includes "HW Solutions" which presents a range of viewpoints and guidelines for solving selected problems inthe text; "Orbital Calculator", which provides an interactive environment for the generation of Keplerian orbits, orbital transfer manoeuvres, and animation of ellipses, hyperbolas, and interplanetary orbits; and "Orbital Mechanics Solutions".

Presented here are the basic concepts, methods, and mathematical developments which are necessary to understand spacecraft attitude dynamics and control. This book is a comprehensive and self-contained treatment with emphasis on the practical aspects of the subject. It is a road map to the field of spacecraft dynamics and control, which contains all essential elements of kinematics, rigid body dynamics, linear control theory, environmental effects, and the theory of the stability of motion, all in a single volume. The book is based on the author's more than forty years of industrial and teaching experience and can be used as a textbook in aerospace engineering courses at either the senior or the first-year graduate school level. The Spacecraft Attitude Dynamics and Control, 2008 Reprint with Corrections, Supplement and CD ROM augments the original material published in 1991 by correcting errors and presenting a Supplement that reviews recent trends in dynamics and control of small satellite systems and tethers in space. Also, included is a CD- ROM the objective of which is to provide view points and guidelines for solving selected problems in the text. Spinners and a menu are employed to enhance the learning experience by providing numerical results for ranges of input parameters to selected problems. Moreover, a faculty CD-ROM is also available that presents complete solutions to the problems of interest.
