Space flight mechanics has always pushed the boundaries of the state-of-the-art high fidelity computational methods to meet very stringent mission requirements. Problems involving orbit propagation and trajectory design have been major contributors to high-order explicit and implicit numerical integrators as well as two-point boundary value problem solvers. The space industry is growing quite rapidly with new mission concepts being proposed and studied in an unprecedented pace. The ever-growing space domain activities pose new challenges to the community. Novel highly accurate highly efficient solutions are needed to respond to new problems in space situational awareness, cis-lunar missions design, computational guidance and control, etc. This special issue is dedicated to novel techniques in space flight applications including but not limited to:
• Analytical and Computational Perturbation Methods for Celestial Mechanics
• Dynamical Systems Theory Applied to Celestial Mechanics
• Computational Challenges Associated with Space Situational Awareness
• Optimal Estimation and Probabilistic Methods in Astrodynamics
• Spacecraft Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC)
• Computational Methods to Design Optimal Trajectories for Space Missions
• Rendezvous, Relative Motion, Proximity Missions, and Formation Flying
• Orbital Debris and Space Environment
• Constellation Design and Optimization
