Description By combining into one volume a number of papers carefully chosen to illuminate important areas of technical development, it is possible to get this broader view of the whole field, its state of the art, and its pattern of development. This is the purpose of the present volume. The editors have grouped the the papers broadly into space guidance and path control, terrestrial guidance concepts and components, and other control topics. The first of these comprises three major mission phases: ascent from Earth to an orbit or space trajectory operations in space requiring navigation or guidance, and descent to the surface of Earth or the moon. The second group includes the system aspects of inertial navigation, gyroscopes as basic components of inertial navigation, and topics in optical navigation. The third group is less homogeneous. Its major divisions are adaptive control, a subject currently in the forefront of modern control theory developments, and attitude control, the major control phase in a space environment.
