neutral and satellite drag; attitude dynamics and control; mission
design; satellite constellations and formation flying; guidance,
navigation, and control; orbital dynamics; space debris and collision
probability; orbit determination; tethers and large space structures;
trajectory design and optimization; atmospheric entry/reentry breakup
analysis; low thrust mission and trajectory design; and libration
point trajectories. The included CD-ROM contains the contents in a
