AENG 0540 - Advanced Orbital Mechanics


Credits: 3
Semester: 1st or 2nd Semester, summer on Demand.
Lecture: 3
This course will focus on the study of orbital and celestial mechanics. Closed form, approximation methods and numerical solutions in a wide variety of problems in orbital and celestial mechanics will be studied. Topics will include Newtonian Mechanics, Newtonian Gravitation, Central Force Orbits (with a focus on Keplerian Orbits), Orbital & Interplanetary Maneuvers, Non-inertial Reference Frames, the Lagrangian Formalism, Rigid Body Rotation, the Three Body Problem, and Approximation Methods for Orbits, and Lunar Motion.

Prerequisite(s): Graduate Standing and AENG 0340 - Fundamentals of Space Mechanics.
