Product Review
You have just launched a multimillion dollar communications satellite into space. A malfunction means your expensive cargo will not reach its required orbit. Who are you going to call? A good choice would be Edward Belbruno, a celestial mechanician who seems to specialize in such lost causes. . . . Capture Dynamics is the first book to describe the necessary theory in the context of the whole process of capture. . . . The result is a brilliant example of the application of chaos theory to practical problems.

This is a how-to book on how to construct a low energy orbit from the earth to the moon by the man who did just that to save the Japanese space mission in 1990.
