This chapter provides the basics for mathematical models used in later chapters to determine the orbital dynamics of spacecraft. The basics are coordinate systems, the physical principles stated in Kepler’s and Newton’s Laws, a discussion of work and energy, the law of conservation of total energy, angular momentum, transformations between coordinate systems, Euler angles, relative motion, and Coriolis acceleration.
