Interplanetary spacecraft navigation and guidance : mechanics of probe entry and ballistic transfers to sun-earth Lagrange L₁ halo orbits /

Interplanetary Spacecraft Navigation and Guidance examines a vast field that was developed to enable the exploration of the moon and planets in the solar system by increasingly sophisticated spacecraft, flying-by, landing or orbiting the inner and outer planets and releasing probes to enter their at...
