Orbital Mechanics and Astrodynamics

This reference material on Orbital Mechanics & Astrodynamics is aimed at Mechanical or Aerospace engineering undergraduate students. It covers various topics such as reference frames, the N-Body problem, two-body equations of motion, Lagrange points, orbital maneuvers including Hohmann transfers, interplanetary trajectories, and more. The associated course at the University of Connecticut recommends textbooks by authors like Roger R. Bate, Donald D. Mueller, Jerry E. White, Howard D. Curtis, Gerald R. Hintz, Kenneth R. Meyer, Daniel C. Offin, John E. Prussing, Bruce A. Conway, Ashish Tewari, David A. Vallado, and Wayne D. McClain. These textbooks delve into fundamental concepts of astrodynamics and orbital mechanics.
