What this is

A study-practice exam on astronautics and orbital mechanics from a standard aerospace curriculum: the two-body problem and vis-viva equation, classical orbital elements, circular and elliptical orbits, orbital maneuvers and Hohmann transfers, Kepler's laws, escape and hyperbolic trajectories, and ground tracks and special orbits.
