  abstract: This text takes its title from an elective course at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign that has been taught to graduate students for the past 29 years. The book assumes the reader has a background of undergraduate engineering (aerospace, mechanical or related), physics or applied mathematics. Parts of the book rely heavily on Optimal Control Theory, but an entire chapter on that topic is provided for those unfamiliar with the subject.
  table of contents: Parameter optimization -- Rocket trajectories -- Optimal control theory -- Optimal trajectories -- Improving a nonoptimal impulsive trajectory -- Continuous-thrust trajectories -- Cooperative rendezvous -- Second-order conditions.
  note: John E. Prussing, Professor Emeritus, Department of Aerospace Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, Illinois, USA.
