THE BEGINNING OF LIFE AWAITS AT THE END OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM. A FROZEN ANSWER AT THE EDGE OF PLANETARY SPACE Set to embark on NASA’s first expedition to the outer planets, the crew of the spacecraft Magellan learns someone else has beaten them by a few decades: a top-secret Soviet project codenamed Arkangel. Now during their long race to the Kuiper Belt, astronauts Jack Templeton and Traci Keene must unwind a decades-old mystery buried in the pages of a dead cosmonaut’s journal. The solution will challenge their beliefs about the nature of humanity, and will force the astronauts to confront the question of existence itself. And the final answer lies at the edge of the Solar System, waiting to change everything. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management). About Farside by Patrick Chiles: "The situations are realistic, the characters interesting, the perils harrowing, and the stakes could not be higher...The story is one of problem solving, adventure, survival, improvisation, and includes one of the most unusual episodes of space combat in all of science fiction. It would make a terrific movie."— John Walker, Ricochet.com "...a fast-paced and exciting story which bounces between the borders of technological thriller and science fiction...Farside is an impressive effort."—Mark Lardas, The Galveston County Daily News

A frozen orbit is an orbit whose time rate of change of the argument of the periapsis, the eccentricity, the semi major axis, or the angle of inclination (i) is approximately equal to zero. Martian frozen orbits are known to exist for polar trajectories with altitudes from 300 km to 1000 km. The objective of this study was to determine if other regions with characteristics similar to the known frozen orbits exist, taking into account the perturbative effects due to a 6 X 6 gravity field and atmospheric drag. First, the geopotential equation was derived for both spherical coordinates and the classical orbital elements. Next, a model for the atmospheric drag was developed. Using these two models, a Fortran computer model named ASAP (Artificial Satellite Analysis Program) was analyzed for accuracy. This program proved to be highly reliable, and was used to carry out further analysis. Two of the three trajectories planned for the future Mars Geoscience/Climatology Orbiter (MGCO) are frozen orbits. In order to determine the characteristics of w, e, a, and i of a frozen orbit, one of the MGCO frozen orbits was examined in both a 6 X 0 and a 6 X 6 gravity field. The analysis showed that the above orbital elements are not periodic over one orbital period (when in the presence of a 6 X 6 gravity field), but they are bounded over one axial period.

Annotation Designed to be used as a graduate student textbook and a ready reference for the busy professional, this third edition of "Orbital Mechanics is structured so that you can easily look up the things you need to know. This edition includes more recent developments in space exploration (e.g. Galileo, Cassini, Mars Odyssey missions). Also, the chapter on space debris was rewritten to reflect new developments in that area. The well-organized chapters cover every basic aspect of orbital mechanics, from celestial relationships to the problems of space debris. The book is clearly written in language familiar to aerospace professionals and graduate students, with all of the equations, diagrams, and graphs you would like to have close at hand. An updated software package on CD-ROM includes: HW Solutions, which presents a range of viewpoints and guidelines for solving selected problems in the text; Orbital Calculator, which provides an interactive environment for the generation of Keplerian orbits, orbital transfer maneuvers, and animation of ellipses, hyperbolas, 'and interplanetary orbits; and Orbital Mechanics Solutions

If a satellite were experiencing pur Keplerian motion its orbital elements would remain constant. In actuality, each orbiting body is acted upon by various perturbing forces. Consequently, the orbital elements are continuously subject to change. The forces generating deviation from basic two-body motion consist of, but are not limited to: the Earth's oblateness, atmospheric drag, lunar-solar gravitation, and solar radiation pressure. Whereas the magnitudes of such perturbing forces are small and varying compared to the gravity effects of the Earth, they are persistent and cause the resulting orbit to depart from its Keplerian counterpart. The variation of the five orbital elements which delineate the size, shape, and orientation of an elliptic orbit, can be determined with reasonable accuracy from existing theory. An understanding of disturbed orbital behavior permits possible control of the elements and exploitation of the inevitable physical effects of perturbations. This thesis provides physical understanding, theories, and mathematical formulations for different types of frozen orbits. Included in the frozen orbit concept are minimum altitude variation arcs, various categories of low Earth orbits such as Sun synchronous, and geosynchronous orbits. This study serves as a readily accessible and useful source of information on Earth orbiting satellites which have near constant or beneficially varying orbital parameters.

A RACE AGAINST TIME AND A GATEWAY TO THE UNKNOWN AWAITS Thrilling space adventure from a Marine vet. Five years ago, astronaut Jack Templeton took the spacecraft Magellan to the farthest reaches of our solar system, never to be heard from again. Until now. When the Magellan suddenly reappears where an undiscovered planet was suspected to be, it poses more questions than answers. How did Jack survive all this time? Can he be rescued before his life support runs out? And what is the object long thought to be the elusive “Planet Nine?” In a race against time, Jack’s former crewmate Traci Keene spearheads a desperate effort to outfit a rescue mission. But she has competition. Agencies of both American and foreign governments have their own agendas, and rescuing rogue astronauts isn’t among them. And at the edge of all that is known, a gateway to the unknown awaits. . . . At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

Fifty years after Sputnik, artificial satellites have become indispensable monitors in many areas, such as economics, meteorology, telecommunications, navigation and remote sensing. The specific orbits are important for the proper functioning of the satellites. This book discusses the great variety of satellite orbits, both in shape (circular to highly elliptical) and properties (geostationary, Sun-synchronous, etc.). This volume starts with an introduction into geodesy. This is followed by a presentation of the fundamental equations of mechanics to explain and demonstrate the properties for all types of orbits. Numerous examples are included, obtained through IXION software developed by the author. The book also includes an exposition of the historical background that is necessary to help the reader understand the main stages of scientific thought from Kepler to GPS. This book is intended for researchers, teachers and students working in the field of satellite technology. Engineers, geographers and all those involved in space exploration will find this information valuable. Michel Capderou’s book is an essential treatise in orbital mechanics for all students, lecturers and practitioners in this field, as well as other aerospace systems engineers. —Charles Elachi, Director, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory
