Edward Belbruno Knihy

The book presents a groundbreaking method for identifying low-energy trajectories for spacecraft and comets by utilizing chaotic motion regions in space, known as weak stability boundaries. It serves as an accessible introduction to celestial mechanics and dynamical systems, merging extensive research with original insights from Edward Belbruno. The theory gained validation in 1991 when it was successfully applied to redirect a Japanese satellite toward the moon, marking a significant milestone in the application of chaos theory to space exploration.

Introduces readers to advances in American space exploration. This book discusses ways to capture and redirect asteroids; presents research on the origin of the Moon; weighs in on discoveries like 2003 UB313, a dwarf planet detected in the far outer reaches of our solar system - and, more.
