Orbital Transfers: Engineering Fundamentals LIGHTHOUSE BOOKS
Orbital Transfers: Engineering Fundamentals
Designed for the Spaceflight and Exploration Engineering series, this applied engineering reference makes Orbital Transfers the basis of an evidence-aware learning journey. The 'Engineering Fundamentals' approach will derive essential engineering principles from a defined system and help readers produce an engineering decision supported by assumptions and validation checks.
