Preface
The mechanics of space flight is an old discipline. Its topic originally was the motion
of s, moons and other celestial bodies in gravitational fields. Kepler’s (1571
- 1630) observations and measurements have led to probably the first mathematical
description of ’s motion. Newton (1642 - 1727) gave then, with the develop-
ment of his principles of mechanics, the physical explanation of these motions.
Since then man has started in the second half of the 20th century to capture phys-
ically the Space in the sense th
