Orbital and Launch Mechanics Training Fundamentals:
Orbital and Launch Mechanics Training Fundamentals Course with Hands-on Exercises (Onsite, Online, and Classroom Live)
Every maneuver in space is counterintuitive. Fly your rocket ship into a 100-mile circular orbit. Put on the brakes and you will speed up! Mash down on the accelerator and you will slow down! Throw a banana peel out the window and 45 minutes later it will come back and slap you in the face!
In this comprehensive 4-day short Orbital and Launch Mechanics Training Fundamentals Workshop course, we use 400 clever color graphics to clarify these and a dozen other puzzling mysteries associated with spacecraft maneuvers. We also provide you with a few simple one-page derivations using real-world inputs to illustrate the concepts under study.
