Learning Astrodynamics

[Will_hynes]

Hello peoples of KSP, I've decided to learn the fundamentals of space navigation rather than looking at pictures that basically tell me the right time to burn. So does anyone know of a book that does a good job of teaching this stuff? Maybe a book that I can buy at a Barnes & Noble.

Ack, some physicist posted a book on here a while ago that covered orbital mechanics. Maybe if you go digging in the forums with Google search...

There are some good math guides in the How To forum. I also own this book and it can be quite useful, and if you study it hard enough you'll learn the math you need for Orbiter 2010 or even the real thing.

Bear in mind astrodynamics math can range from simple algebra to differential equations. I don't know your math level, but it can range like that.

Alright, thanks guys, I will go get that book, and I'm learning algebra 2 this year so i probably be able to handle all that.... Hopefully. lol
