ORBITAL MECHANICS

This Page was followed by the http://www.braeunig.us/space/orbmech.htm  this web portal . I have Read this page that's I have address it. Conic Sections Orbital Elements Types of Orbits Newton's Laws of Motion and Universal Gravitation Uniform Circular Motion Motions of Planets and Satellites Launch of a Space Vehicle Position in an Elliptical Orbit Orbit Perturbations Orbit Maneuvers The Hyperbolic Orbit Orbital mechanics , also called flight mechanics, is the study of the motions of artificial satellites and space vehicles moving under the influence of forces such as gravity, atmospheric drag, thrust, etc. Orbital mechanics is a modern offshoot of celestial mechanics which is the study of the motions of natural celestial bodies such as the moon and planets. The root of orbital mechanics can be traced back to the 17th century when mathematician Isaac Newton (1642-1727) put forward his laws of motion and formulated his law of universal gravitation.
