✦ Synopsis

Very detailed and extensive theoretical analysis of the phenomena accompanying the passage of bodies such as artificial satellites and rockets through the upper atmosphere. As one would expect, the Russian literature is fully covered, but contributions from other countries also receive due consideration. This monograph, the first of its kind, was well worth translating, and. this has been done with commendable speed: the Russian original dates from 1964.
