Celestial mechanics during the last two decades

Abstract

The unprecedented progress in celestial mechanics (orbital mechanics, astrodynamics, space dynamics) is reviewed from 1957 to date. The engineering, astronomical and mathematical aspects are synthesized. The measuring and computational techniques developed parallel with the theoretical advances are outlined. Major unsolved problem areas are listed with proposed approaches for their solutions. Extrapolations and predictions of the progress for the future conclude the paper.
