Astrodynamics is the application of
Newton's
Laws of Motion and
Law of Universal Gravitation to the determination of the motion of objects in
space.
Orbits of astronomical bodies, such as planets, asteroids, and comets are calculated using the principles of astrodynamics, as are spacecraft trajectories, from launch through atmospheric re-entry, including all orbital maneuvers.
