Tewari A. Atmospheric and Space Flight Dynamics: Modeling and Simulation with MatLAB and Simulink

Birkhauser Boston, 2007, 556 p. — ISBN: 0817644377.This book offers a unified presentation that does not discriminate between atmospheric and space flight. It demonstrates that the two disciplines have evolved from the same set of physical principles and introduces a broad range of critical concepts in an accessible, yet mathematically rigorous presentation. The book presents many MatLAB and Simulink-based numerical examples and real-world simulations. Replete with illustrations, end-of-chapter exercises, and selected solutions, the work is primarily useful as a textbook for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate-level students.Attitude and Kinematics of Coordinate Frames
