Free fall and the projectile motion. Earth-Moon-Sun. Our planetary system.The universal law of gravitation. Escape velocity. Rockets. Artifical satellites. GPS. A comprehensive review of space missions.
These lectures will be at an introductory level. But a good knowledge of basic algebra and geometry helps.
