> This book describes a revolutionary new approach to
>determining low energy routes for spacecraft and comets by
>exploiting regions in space where motion is very sensitive
>(or chaotic). It also represents an ideal introductory text
>to celestial mechanics, dynamical systems, and dynamical
>astronomy. Bringing together wide-ranging research by others
>with his own original work, much of it new or previously
>unpublished, Edward Belbruno argues that regions supporting
>chaotic motions, termed weak stability boundaries, can be
>estimated. Although controversial until quite recently, this
>method was in fact first applied in 1991, when Belbruno used
>a new route developed from this theory to get a stray
>Japanese satellite back on course to the moon. This
>application provided a major verification of his theory,
>representing the first application of chaos to space travel.
