1. Spacecraft Operations
2022 by Florian Sellmaier, Thomas Uhlig, Michael Schmidhuber
This book provides a comprehensive exploration of spacecraft operations for both manned and unmanned missions, covering fundamental concepts across various segments. The initial section offers a concise overview of the space segment, followed by in-depth discussions on key areas of space flight operations, including mission operations, communications and infrastructure, flight dynamics systems, and mission planning. A section is dedicated to operational tasks of subsystems in Earth orbit satellites, and the book concludes by addressing unique requirements in missions involving astronauts, satellite approach to other targets, interplanetary travel, and planetary landings. In its 2nd edition, published seven years after the first, the book includes four new chapters focusing on flight procedures, human factors, ground station operation, and software and systems. Additionally, existing chapters have been significantly expanded, and the entire content has been updated and refined in language. Originally derived from the "Spacecraft Operations Course" at the German Space Operations Center, this book caters not only to course participants but also to students in technical and scientific fields, along with individuals seeking a deeper understanding of spacecraft operations.

2. Spacecraft Dynamics and Control
2021 by Yongchun Xie, Yongjun Lei, Jianxin Guo, Bin Meng
This book offers a contemporary exploration of space dynamics and control, encompassing spacecraft attitude control, orbit control, and guidance, navigation, and control (GNC). Drawing on the research advancements in control theory and methods from the Beijing Institute of Control Engineering, it provides a comprehensive summary of both theoretical concepts and practical engineering applications. The control schemes and systems derived from these achievements have proven successful in various missions, including remote sensing satellites, communication satellites, navigation satellites, new technology test satellites, Shenzhou manned spacecraft, Tianzhou freight spacecraft, Tiangong 1/2 space laboratories, Chang'e lunar explorers, and more. With a focus on guiding subsequent engineering developments, the research detailed in this book is particularly relevant for projects in manned lunar engineering, deep space exploration, and on-orbit service missions.
