This Handbook 0/ Geostationary Orbits is in principle an extension of the Introduction to Geostationary Orbits that was printed as a special publica tion by the European Space Agency (ESA) in 1983. The immediate purpose was to provide the theoretical background and some practical advice for the orbit control of geostationary spacecraft by means of the software package "PEPSOC". PEPSOC, short for "Portable ESOC Package for Synchronous Orbit Con trol" , was produced by the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) to support spacecraft operations in the routine phase. The resulting publication was a handbook for engineers and spacecraft operators, rather than a clas sical textbook in celestial mechanics. During the past eleven years, the software system PEPSOC has found a wide application both within and outside the ESA member states. At the same time, the original Introduction found numerous readers also outside the group of PEPSOC operators. The continuing development and
Editorial : ` can be recommended as an introductory textbook on space courses at a high school or university, but many amateurs and teachers (provided with the basics in calculus and vectorial algebra) will find useful information about this modern subject of celestial mechanics.'Orion, 271 (1995)
We've bought copies from Amazon for our other friends who are expecting, particularly those with some connection to New York City, since the book is set there and references the subway and different sites.. Gary even says a prayer of blessing over us at the end. In the text there are numerous painting of fairly featureless hillsides, explorations of both man-created landscape and naturally occuring symmetrical landscapes, and quite a fair number of landscapes with palettes that seem somewhat dull (but mostly likely quite accurate). In addition, both Ann's story and the memorial to her sister, Kay, encourage me to be fully me -- giving the service I was put here to do -- with joy, courage, creativity, and smiling light. That's not to say that the MB method studies are all boring, but many do not seem relevant to most of the music we are listening to today.
-The book is well constructed and I cannot think of any typos that I came across.
Cons:
-After book
