OBJECTIVES:
• To introduce concepts of satellite injection and satellite perturbations, trajectory computation for interplanetary travel and flight of ballistic missiles based on the fundamental concepts of orbital mechanics.
UNIT I | SPACE ENVIRONMENT | 8 |
---|
Peculiarities of space environment and its description– effect of space environment on materials of spacecraft structure and astronauts- manned space missions – effect on satellite life time
UNIT II | BASIC CONCEPTS AND THE GENERAL N- BODY PROBLEM | 10 |
---|
The solar system – reference frames and coordinate systems – terminology related to the celestial sphere and its associated concepts – Kepler’s laws of planetary motion and proof of the laws – Newton’s universal law of gravitation - the many body problem - Lagrange-Jacobi identity – the circular restricted three body problem – libration points – the general N-body problem – two body problem – relations between position and time.
UNIT III | SATELLITE INJECTION AND SATELLITE PERTURBATIONS | 10 |
---|
General aspects of satellite injection – satellite orbit transfer – various cases – orbit deviations due to injection errors – special and general perturbations – Cowell’s method and Encke’s method – method of variations of orbital elements – general perturbations approach.
UNIT IV | INTERPLANETARY TRAJECTORIES | 8 |
---|
Two-dimensional interplanetary trajectories – fast interplanetary trajectories – three dimensional interplanetary trajectories – launch of interplanetary spacecraft – trajectory estimation about the target planet – concept of sphere of influence – Lambert’s theorem
UNIT V | BALLISTIC MISSILE TRAJECTORIES | 9 |
---|
Introduction to ballistic missile trajectories – boost phase – the ballistic phase – trajectory geometry – optimal flights – time of flight – re-entry phase – the position of impact point – influence coefficients.
TOTAL : 45 PERIODS
