orbital-mechanics
From the author
Classical orbital mechanics from Kepler to Hohmann. Covers the six orbital elements, Kepler's three laws, vis-viva, orbit types (circular, elliptical, parabolic, hyperbolic), transfer orbits, gravity assists, the two-body problem, and practical methods for computing ephemerides. Use when reasoning about planet motion, spacecraft trajectories, comet orbits, exoplanet transits, or binary star dynamics.
