space vehicle dynamics and control

The second edition of Space Vehicle Dynamics and Controls includes over 260 pages of new material on the recent advances in dynamical modeling and control of advanced spacecraft such as agile imaging satellites equipped with control moment gyros, solar sails, and space solar power satellites. All of the new material contained in the second edition is based on my own or coauthored technical papers published in the Journal of Guidance, Control, and Dynamics and/or presented at various technical meetings during the past 10 years. Minor typographical errors of the first edition have been corrected. All of the material of the first edition, except the bibliography, has been retained.
