This three-volume set contains the proceedings of 2007 Astrodynamics Conference, co-sponsored by the American Astronautical Society and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and held in August of 2007. There are 156 technical papers organized according to the 24 session topics, including the special sessions on "50 years of space development;" the Cassini orbiter, which is currently studying Saturn; and STEREO (Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory), the solar observation mission launched in 2006. Other sessions were devoted to atmospheric density analysis; satellite constellations and formation flying; trajectory design and planetary mission studies; orbit determination and tracking; attitude dynamics, determination, and control; atmospheric re-entry guidance and control; spacecraft guidance, navigation, and control; low thrust mission and trajectory design; dynamics and control of large space structures; trajectory optimization; space debris and conjunction analysis; orbital dynamics, perturbations, and stability; and earth orbital and planetary mission studies. Appendices provide basic bibliographical listings for publications of the American Astronautical Society, the Advances in the Astronautical Sciences series, the Science and Technology series, and the AAS History series. Also include are numerical and author indexes. The CD-ROM reproduces the papers in digital form.
