Guidance of lunar and planetary spacecraft with less-than-usual emphasis on satellites; discussion covers tradeoffs among midcourse, and terminal guidance as well as ways of mechanizing these systems by radio, inertial, or celestial techniques; examples of these guidance systems as applied to some of current lunar and planetary spacecraft; subjects covered are -- spacecraft guidance philosophy, optical sensors, gyroscopes, accelerometers, servomechanisms, analog computers, digital computers, spacecraft power, spacecraft control systems, inertial guidance, earth-based midcourse guidance, celestial navigation, lunar-landing guidance, planetary approach guidance, and capsule control.
