Consideration of forms of post-injection guidance for lunar or interplanetary missions and radio command system which depends on ground radio tracking, computing and command; ballistics theory and schemes of mechanization assuming use of small rocket (chemical propellant) in vehicle; computation of midcourse correction depends on orbit determination, based on radio tracking of vehicle by several sites at dispersed points on surface of Earth; method of orbit determination and examples.
