Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
"
This book explores the reconstruction, extension, and enhancement of the Apollo targeting and guidance algorithms, integrating original guidance concepts with new analytical solutions. It details the Apollo ground-based and on-board algorithms, their iterative targeting procedures, and their performance in post-flight mission reconstructions. The book further introduces advanced real-time targeting methods that improve landing accuracy and autonomy, supporting future robotic and human lunar landing missions. By eliminating iterative computations, these solutions enable real-time re-targeting during powered descent, ensuring safer and more precise landings. This work bridges past Apollo-era methods with modern advancements, making it essential for undergraduate and graduate students, aerospace engineers, researchers, and mission designers.
