104 – Space Flight Dynamics

In this episode we talk to Rainer Kresken of ESA ESOC Darmstadt about orbital mechanics and space flight dynamics. We have obviously addressed this topic in earlier episodes, this episode really diggs down deeper, and helped me understand the concepts and the challenges much better.

Super! Dieses Interview mit Rainer Kresken hat mir manche Frage, die ich mir im Zusammenhang mit dem Betrieb, der Ausrichtung und der Bewegung von Satelliten gestellt habe, umfassend und mit viel Tiefgang beantwortet – und außerdem auch weitere, von denen ich nicht wusste, dass sie stellen könnte!
Vielen Dank und immer weiter so!
Danke Jochen :-)

Hi Markus,
once again a great show!
I guess you probably know about this site, but other listeners might not:
http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/
It’s a free space flight simulator which can give you quite a good understanding about orbits and space flight dynamics.
Actually I did *not* know it. Thank you very much!

Another fascinating episode. I really enjoyed this one.

Hi Markus,
Thank you for this great episode! Curious as to whether you’ve had the chance to play kerbal space programming since then and if so, what your learning/experience was like in that? I’ve found it a fantastic tool to understand orbital mechanics, even got so enthusiastic as to write a Runge kuttta integrator to explore the subject further.
I have not played KSP. No time, I guess :-( But sure looks interesting!
