Scientific paper

General equations of spacecraft motion are presented and the interplanetary rendezvous problem is treated in a simplified force model. The principles of the use of gravitational perturbations during a flyby of a celestial body are exposed, using Venus, Earth, Mars, and Jupiter as examples. Orbit determination through range and range rate tracking is described. Propulsion and attitude control are discussed.
