Title: good basic undergraduate text
Review: Bate, Mueller and White's (BMW) Fundamentals of Astrodynamics was writteninitially for cadets at the US Air Force Academy to provide themwith an overview of space dynamics, coordinate systems and orbitalmechanics. BMW is a good "guided tour" of the subject, but hasweaknesses in areas such as the two-point boundary-value problem,and in the theory of perturbations. When used as a text or referencehandbook for basic two-body orbital problems, BMW is a quick,inexpensive and reliable guide. More sophisticated references shouldbe consulted for more sophisticated problems. A must on everysatellite engineer or trajectory analyst's bookshelf.
