PDF-(READ)-Orbital Motion in Strongly Perturbed Environments: Applications to Asteroid, Comet

The investigation of minor solar system bodies such as comets and asteroids using spacecraft requires an understanding of orbital motion in strongly perturbed environments The solutions to a wide range of complex and challenging problems in this field are reviewed in this comprehensive and authoritative work.
