Abstract
The physics of space flight mechanics in the following is mainly described in vector notation. The corresponding vectors are, for instance, the translational and angular momentum, the force, the translational and angular acceleration and velocity, and the position. The measurement and description of these vectors is sometimes only possible in specific coordinate systems, for example in a body fixed frame, which is in addition ususally non-inertial. The further usage of these vectors for theoretical evaluations requires often their transformation to other non-inertial or inertial frames.
