A malfunction means your expensive cargo will not reach its required orbit. Who are you going to call? A good choice would be Edward Belbruno, a celestial mechanician who seems to specialize in such lost causes... Capture Dynamics is the first book to describe the necessary theory in the context of the whole process of capture... The result is a brilliant example of the application of chaos theory to practical problems.\"--Carl Murray, New Scientist \"This is a how-to book on how to construct a low energy orbit from the earth to the moon by the man who did just that to save the Japanese space mission in 1990.\"--Ken Meyer, SIAM Review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures vii  Foreword xi  Preface xiii  Chapter 1.
