Space Flight: The Application of Orbital Mechanics

This is a primer on orbital mechanics originally intended for college-level physics students. Released 1989.

 

Kepler's Laws Tutorial

In this video you will be introduced to Kepler's 3 laws and see how they are relevant to orbiting objects. The video also makes use of computer simulations created by PhET Interactive Simulations (University of Colorado).
