Focusing on the practical applications of celestial mechanics, this book emphasizes its evolution into a vital engineering discipline following the advent of artificial satellites. It primarily explores the motion of satellites in Earth's gravitational field, utilizing Von Zeipel and Brouwer's methods alongside Lagrange's equations. The initial chapters lay foundational concepts, including the two-body problem and analytical mechanics, while the concluding chapters provide an overview of classical celestial theories, highlighting their unique features without extensive detail.
