Abstract
By definition astrodynamics is a truly modern field of engineering, the study of which dates back only as far as the early pioneers of space technology, such as Konstantin Tsiolkovsky (1857-1935). It was only realized as a practical field within engineering in the middle of the 20th century, as discussed in Chap. 1, with the onset of the Space Age.
