This 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.
Robin Biesbroek developed Lunar and Interplanetary trajectory design and optimisation software for more than ten year. His software was used by several space agencies around the world, such as NASA GSFC, NASA JPL, NASA Ames, ESA, KARI and DLR, as well as by several large satellite integrator companies such as Airbus, Thales Alenia Space and Orbital Sciences. He now works as a system engineer at the European Space Agency (ESA).
