Orbital Mechanics

sup /sci/,

So I'm taking this really awesome orbital mechanics course and was wondering how my course compares to regular aerospace classes (this isn't a college course). So this is what I learned so far:

Deriving all 6 classical orbital elements using R and V vectors
Converting between different kinds of coordinate systems
Calculating Launch windows
Calculating Rendezvous

And a bunch of other stuff too but I think those 4 are the most important. So basically I'm asking you aerospace engineers what you learned and in which courses?

base level with enough information to feed you but not enough to show you how to feed yourself.  if you enjoy it now you'll love taking classes like this in college -- and you'll get an easy A

Read SICM

but what to orbitals have to do with spaceships?

holy fuck that's a great thing to reference. Thanks Anon.
