Explores space mission design, conservation laws, radiation balance, and interplanetary trajectories, including practical applications of reaction wheels and space tethers.
Explores Kepler's laws, orbital mechanics, energy of motion, flight path angles, orbital maneuvers, Hohmann transfers, geostationary orbits, and Lagrange points.
Explains ellipses in Cartesian and polar coordinates, focusing on geometric locus and trajectory parameters using mechanical energy and angular momentum constants.
Explores gravitational motion equations, energy conservation, angular velocity, orbits, relativity effects, black holes, time dilation, cosmology, and rotational equilibrium.
