A Visual Introduction To Orbital Mechanics: Including Classical Physics, Statistics, Mathematics & Graphing Techniques

Why is this important?

- Orbital mechanics is the ‘road map’ to putting anything
in Space (there is no Rand-McNally in the stars)

- Only way to find objects once they are on orbit
(protect the Shuttle from orbiting debris)

- Allows the United States to fulfill its Nuclear Risk
