The handbook outlines the fundamentals of spaceflight theory and provides a summary treatment of navigation in interplanetary space. The characteristics of space trajectories are discussed at length, and descriptions of rocket engines and spacecraft in general are given. In addition, information on the faraway planets, whose conquest by man is just beginning, is reviewed, and the conditions faced by man in space are described. (Author)
