Who might find the above link useful?
The above online textbook is most useful for QMUL’s second year Aerospace Engineering undergraduate students taking
EMS515U: Introduction to Spacecraft Dynamics.
It could also be a useful resource for other educators interested in teaching orbital mechanics, especially using computational
tools like numpy.
Personal Recommendation of Pre-requisites
This is my personal list of pre-requisites (not prescribed or stated as so by my employers):
- An interest in space engineering.
- Vector algebra and basic vector differentiation.
- Deep familiarity of classical mechanics, especially as taught by me using symbolic modelling tools over here.
