“This book could be described as ‘precise’… the
book has more than enough numerical data without adding the analytics. And the
information flows along smoothly, as if presenting a case study so the reader
won’t get overwhelmed. … this book presents what appears to be a carefully
chosen mix of useful data and background information. … this book will have you
appreciating all that’s involved with travelling in space.” (Mark Mortimer, universetoday. com,

Lunar and Interplanetary Trajectories
von Robin BiesbroekThis book provides readers with a clear description of the types of lunar and interplanetary trajectories, and how they influence satellite-system design. The description follows an engineering rather than a mathematical approach and includes many examples of lunar trajectories, based on real missions. It helps readers gain an understanding of the driving subsystems of interplanetary and lunar satellites. The tables and graphs showing features of trajectories make the book easy to understand.
