For all the (Professional Elective-2) subjects refer to Professional Elective-2 Scheme. The detail syllabus for space mechanics is as follows.
Course Objective:
- Impart the knowledge in two-body, restricted three-body and n-body problem, Hamiltonian dynamics, canonical transformations, Poincare surface sections.
- Analyze the basic Newtonian dynamics and spacecraft altitude dynamics.
- Provide necessary knowledge to study the satellite and interplanetary trajectories and Formal approaches for handling coordinate transformations.
- Solve the orbital problems related to Earth satellite orbits using Hamilton�s and generate interplanetary orbits in the frame work of restricted three-body problem.
