Tracking data analyses of Mariners 6 and 7 for determining Earth Moon mass ratio and Mars mass

Anderson, J. D.↗

Astrodynamics. Volume 1 - Orbit determination, space navigation, celestial mechanics.

Essential navigational, physical, and mathematical problems of space exploration are covered. The introductory chapters dealing with conic sections, orientation, and the integration of the two-body problem are followed by an introduction to orbit determination and design. Systems of units and constants, as well as ephemerides, representations, reference systems, and data are then dealt with. A detailed attention is given to rendezvous problems and to differential processes in observational orbit correction, and in rendezvous or guidance correction. Finally, the Laplacian methods for determining preliminary orbits, and the orbit methods of Lagrange, Gauss, and Gibbs are reviewed.
