If you are in more of a hurry try Danby: Fundamentals of Celestial Mechanics available from Willmann-Bell and all good bookshops. If you intend to use the orbital elements that nasa have put on their website be warned that they use the same symbols as danby but with different meanings which is pretty typical of theis subject. You could do a public service and read my effort before it goes on line! Best wishes Alan White |

Alan,
Thanks for your help. I'll be very pleased to follow your work as it comes available. I'm aware of NASA's terminology and symbols. The problem is even worse if you read from Spanish-written texts and symbols are changed! Sincerely, Xavier "Alan White" escribió en el mensaje ... TP wrote: Hi all!
