These are the proceedings of the AstroNet-II International Final Conference . This conference was one of the last milestones of the Marie-Curie Research Training Network on Astrodynamics AstroNet-II , that has been funded by the European Commission under the Seventh Framework Programme.
The aim of the conference, and thus?this book,?is to communicate work on astrodynamics problems?to an international and specialised audience. The?results are?presented by both members of the network and?invited specialists. The topics include: trajectory design and control, attitude control, structural flexibility of spacecraft and formation flying.
The book addresses a readership across the traditional boundaries between mathematics, engineering and industry by offering an interdisciplinary and multisectorial overview of the field.
