The book includes more than 160 typical homework and exam problems that were given, could have been given, or should have been given (had the time allowed) in a graduate-level introductory astronautics “boot camp” course on the fundamentals of space systems at the University of Southern California (USC). More than 2,200 graduate students took this course over the last 27 years.
The problems cover the first half of the course, focused on mission-related subjects such as the solar system, coordinate systems, space environment and interactions, the Earth, the gravitational field, orbital mechanics, common orbits, and mission geometry. All problems include detailed solutions. Consequently, it is a how-to guide for making basic estimates in planning, designing, and operating space missions and systems.
The book is for students and instructors in undergraduate and graduate courses in astronautical engineering. It will also serve as an aid for practicing space engineers and managers, especially system engineers, involved in the planning, design, and operation of space missions, space systems, and payloads.
