Various papers on satellite and planetary mission dynamics are presented. Individual topics discussed include: orbital motion in the frequency domain, the Galileo orbital tour for the 1986 launch opportunity, circulating transportation orbits between earth and Mars, optimum burn scheduling for low-thrust orbital transfers, comparison of nonlinear filters for orbit determination, common period four-satellite continuous global coverage, motion of a drag-free experiment on the Space Station, and engineering improvements, sequencing and orbital determination for Voyager 2 Uranus encounter. Also considered are: approach strategy for rendezvous with Comet Tempel 2, maneuver strategies for Magellan Mission, Jupiter Polar Orbiter Mission concepts, modelling and simulation of Spacecraft Solar Array deployment, sensitivity analysis for lunar trajectories, maximum likelihood estimation for orbit determination, adaptive estimation for an accelerating spacecraft, Slinger in-orbit booster facility, simulation of satellite breakups, missile launch windows of avoiding collisions with satellites, linear-quadratic stationkeeping for the STS Orbiter.
