[aero/astrodynamics] Looking for a book recommendation

AI Thread Summary
For a senior electronics engineering student interested in space flight, several technical book recommendations focus on aero/astrodynamics and rocket fundamentals. "Fundamentals of Astrodynamics" by Bate, Mueller, and White is highlighted as an excellent beginner's resource. Additionally, "Space Dynamics" by William Teyrrell Thomson is suggested, along with a mention of Dover's engineering series for more affordable options. Another noteworthy title is by Vallado, recognized for its comprehensive content, although the specific title is not recalled. These books cater to both beginners and those seeking in-depth knowledge in space engineering.

I apologize is this isn't the best place to put this question.

I'm just looking for a book recommendation. I am a senior electronics engineering student and I would like to learn about space flight. A recommendation for a technical book on aero/astrodynamics, rocket fundamentals, satellites, etc.. Pretty much anything geared toward space from an engineering standpoint would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Fundamentals of Astrodynamics by Bate, Mueller and White
Probably the best beginner's book.
 
Dover's series on engineering has a few. Space Dynamics by William Teyrrell Thomson along with the one recommended above. You can find them both fairly cheap.
 
Both books listed are excellent, and not just for beginners. Another good book is by Vallado. I forget the title but is is very lengthy.
