Space Vehicle Guidance, Control and Astrodynamics is written for those who are interested in guidance, navigation, control, and dynamics of advanced space systems, launch vehicles, robotic and human exploration of asteroids, and/or planetary defense missions. Chapters 2 through 5 are adopted from the author's previous book Space Vehicle Dynamics and Control, Second Edition. Chapters 1 and 6 to 11 contain all new material specifically developed for this volume. New topics include: Spacecraft Attitude Determination and Control; Launch Vehicle Ascent Flight Control; Fundamentals of Astrodynamics; Orbital Intercept, Rendezvous, and Terminal Guidance; Trajectory Analysis and Design for Asteroid Missions; Planetary Defense Mission Analysis and Design; Close Proximity Dynamics and Control Around Asteroids. Space Vehicle Guidance, Control and Astrodynamics is intended for use as a textbook or a sustaining reference source for senior undergraduate or graduate courses. With emphasis on practical applications it is also a valuable reference for practicing engineers and researchers. Bong Wie is the Vance D. Coffman Endowed Chair Professor of Aerospace Engineering at Iowa State University. He holds a B.S. in aerospace engineering from Seoul National University and a M.S. and Ph.D. in aeronautics and astronautics from Stanford University. In 2006 he received AIAA s Mechanics and Control of Flight Award for his innovative research on advanced control of complex spacecraft such as solar sails, large flexible structures, and agile imaging satellites equipped with control moment gyros. He has three patents on singularity-avoidance steering logic of control moment gyros. In 2011-2014, he was a NIAC (NASA Advanced Innovative Concepts) Fellow for developing an innovative solution to NASA s near-Earth object (NEO) impact threat mitigation grand challenge and its flight validation mission design. He is an Associate Fellow of AIAA.

How are ratings calculated?
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzes reviews to verify trustworthiness.
