Keplerian and perturbed motion
Abstract
The general principals of classical mechanics, the two body problem, the many body problem, and the notion of Newtonian potential are recalled. Keplerian motion of an object near a celestial body, orbit determination, orbital elements, orbit perturbation, and maneuvers in Keplerian orbit are introduced.
