Features: This book focuses on artificial Earth satellites and manned spacecraft, introducing spacecraft tracking and control systems, control technologies, and flight control operations from an engineering perspective. It covers the mission and composition of spacecraft control systems, common attitude sensors and actuators, attitude determination and attitude control, orbital control issues such as orbit transfer, orbit adjustment, station-keeping capture, and position holding for geostationary satellites, as well as orbit maintenance for sun-synchronous return orbits. The book also discusses the fundamental knowledge, motion equations, and control algorithms involved in spacecraft re-entry control, the main tasks and functions of tracking and control system simulation, and basic simulation methods. Additionally, it covers the mathematical models for spacecraft dynamics simulation, basic methods for simulating telemetry and ranging parameters, and the main functions and design methods of tracking and control system simulation software. This book is suitable for engineering technicians engaged in spacecraft tracking and control work in colleges and universities, as well as serving as a teaching reference for undergraduate and graduate students in related fields... This book, from an engineering perspective and combined with practical tracking and control applications, introduces some of the spacecraft flight control and simulation knowledge and methods frequently used in China's tracking and control engineering.
