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...

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...

AE2104-11. In the lecture Ir. R. Noomen kicks off the subject of orbital mechanics. He starts off with a brief introduction on the space environment, and follows with deriving some equations to describe Kepler orbits. Next the earth gravity field is described in detail. With this explain, more...
