Flight and Orbital Mechanics: 7. Eclipse and Maneuvers
Listen now
Description
AE2104-11. In this lecture Ir. R. Noomen talks about eclipses and maneuvers. Eclipses, being the time a satellite spends in the shadow of earth, have different effects on a satellite, such as on its power, thermal control and attitude control. The second part covers maneuvers, a change in velocity in order to obtain a change in orbit. The different applications to this are orbit transfers, orbit maintenance, rendezvous and docking, and end of life disposal.

AE2104-11. In this lecture Ir. R. Noomen talks about interplanetary flight. He start off by talking about transfer orbits, reaching the Hohmann transfer. Hohmann transfers for interplanetary flight are different however from those just in earth orbit. He then talkt about the different escape...
