1999 Flight Mechanics Symposium PDF Download

This document summarizes the major activities and accomplishments carried out by the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC)'s Flight Dynamics Analysis Branch (FDAB), Code 572, in support of flight projects and technology development initiatives in Fiscal Year (FY) 1999. The document is intended to serve as both an introduction to the type of support carried out by the FDAB (Flight Dynamics Analysis Branch), as well as a concise reference summarizing key analysis results and mission experience derived from the various mission support roles assumed over the past year. The major accomplishments in the FDAB in FY99 were: 1) Provided flight dynamics support to the Lunar Prospector and TRIANA missions among a variety of spacecraft missions; 2) Sponsored the Flight Mechanics Symposium; 3) Supported the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) workshops; 4) Performed numerous analyses and studies for future missions; 5) Started the Flight Dynamics Analysis Branch Lab for in-house mission analysis and support; and 6) Complied with all requirements in support of GSFC IS09000 certification.Stengle, Thomas and Flores-Amaya, FelipeGoddard Space Flight CenterAERODYNAMICS; EARTH OBSERVING SYSTEM (EOS); FLIGHT MECHANICS; DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS; DATA SYSTEMS; X RAY TELESCOPES; ATTITUDE CONTROL; LUNAR PROSPECTOR; SPACE MISSIONS; LANDSAT 7; SPARTAN SATELLITES; GOES SATELLITES...
