NewMars.com was down in mid-July of 2023, and it was restored on 2023/07/26. In the mean time, Dr. GW Johnson has agreed to offer his free course materials to anyone who might be interested via discuss.the-knowledge.org.
The course is intended to provide fundamental concepts that anyone who will become a spacecraft pilot or navigator will need to know. The course itself is NOT going to qualify a student to navigate a spacecraft, but it ** will ** provide the foundation needed for further study.
The class was implemented as a set of links to files (text and images) stored in Dropbox.com.
In addition, images were stored in imgur.com, and these will be posted to discuss.the-knowledge.org as they are recovered from backups.
Here is an opening offering:
Today's upload of files will provide links to a presentation on the Basics of Elliptic Orbits
