This practical guide covers topics such as space debris attitude motion, the motion of rigid materials in an inhomogeneous high-speed rarefied medium, gravity gradient torque, and more. The book examines and compares the various ways to control the spatial motion of space debris, such as engine thrust or altering the direction of the ion beam axis, and offers simple mathematical models for analyzing system behaviors.
- Provides insight on the features, advantages, and disadvantages of contactless ion beam transportation of space debris
- Demonstrates how classical mechanics, nonlinear and chaotic dynamics, and methods of stability theory are applied during the ion beam method
- Includes simple mathematical models describing the behavior of the considered mechanical system, allowing the reader to understand the nature of the studied phenomenon
