Neuware - Provides the basics of spacecraft orbital dynamics plus attitude dynamics and control, using vectrix notationSpacecraft Dynamics and Control: An Introduction presents the fundamentals of classical control in the context of spacecraft attitude control. This approach is particularly beneficial for the training of students in both of the subjects of classical control as well as its application to spacecraft attitude control. By using a physical system (a spacecraft) that the reader can visualize (rather than arbitrary transfer functions), it is easier to grasp the motivation for why topics in control theory are important, as well as the theory behind them. The entire treatment of both orbital and attitude dynamics makes use of vectrix notation, which is a tool that allows the user to write down any vector equation of motion without consideration of a reference frame. This is particularly suited to the treatment of multiple reference frames. Vectrix notation also makes a very clear distinction between a physical vector and its coordinate representation in a reference frame. This is very important in spacecraft dynamics and control problems, where often multiple coordinate representations are used (in different reference frames) for the same physical vector.\* Provides an accessible, practical aid for teaching and self-study with a layout enabling a fundamental understanding of the subject\* Fills a gap in the existing literature by providing an analytical toolbox offering the reader a lasting, rigorous methodology for approaching vector mechanics, a key element vital to new graduates and practicing engineers alike\* Delivers an outstanding resource for aerospace engineering students, and all those involved in the technical aspects of design and engineering in the space sector\* Contains numerous illustrations to accompany the written text. Problems are included to apply and extend the material in each chapterEssential reading for graduate level aerospace engineering students, aerospace professionals, researchers and engineers.…

About the Author
Anton de Ruiter, Assistant Professor, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada.
Obtained his PhD in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Toronto in 2005.? Until 2006 he was a Visiting Research Fellow at the Space Technologies Branch of the Canadian Space Agency.?His interests include Nano-Satellite Technologies, Interplanetary Missions, Spacecraft Formation Flying, Spacecraft Attitude and Orbit Determination and Control, GPS-based Spacecraft Navigation, Control Systems, and Optimization Theory and Applications.?Professor De Ruiter has written extensively on spacecraft dynamics and related topics for journals, articled papers and conference proceedings.
Christopher J. Damaren, Professor, University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies.
Obtained his doctorate at UTIAS in 1990 in the area of control systems for flexible spacecraft. In the 1990's most of his research concentrated on control system design for large structurally flexible robot manipulator systems such as the Space Station robotic systems developed by Canada. Since joining the faculty of UTIAS in 1999, his research group has been involved in the dynamics and control of spacecraft including the orbital, attitude, and structural motions of these systems.
James R. Forbes, Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, McGill University.
Obtained his doctorate at UTIAS in 2011 in the area of control system design with applications to aerospace systems, including spacecraft attitude control. His teaching duties at McGill University include spacecraft dynamics and control courses at the upper undergraduate/beginning graduate level

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
