This book focuses on the Jet Transport (JT) technique and gives a systematic introduction on its theory development, algorithm implementation, and in particular, the applications in the field of astronautics including uncertainty propagation, filtering, as well as guidance and control. It features on the combination of mathematical theory and engineering applications, making the technique to be understood and mastered straightforwardly. Moreover, the JT-based methods proposed in the book o...

The book focuses on the orbital dynamics and mission trajectory (transfer or target trajectory) design of low-energy flight in the context of modern astrodynamics. It investigates various topics that either offer new methods for solving classical problems or address emerging problems that have yet to be studied, including low-thrust transfer trajectory design using the virtual gravity field method; transfer in the three-body system using invariant manifolds; formation flying under space-bo...
