《宇宙航行科學雜志》成立于1954年，致力于航天科學和技術。該雜志在天體動力學、天體力學、大氣飛行力學、導航和制導以及與空間相關的科學的所有領域提出了重要的新成果、重要的見解和最新研究進展。涵蓋的主題包括：姿態(tài)動力學、軌道確定、軌道優(yōu)化、空間任務分析、數(shù)值方法、機動飛行器、大型柔性空間結(jié)構(gòu)的動力學和控制以及與新航天系統(tǒng)及其應用相關的空間科學。

Founded in 1954, the Journal of the Astronautical Sciences is devoted to the science and technology of astronautics. The journal presents significant new results, important insights and state of the art surveys in all areas of astrodynamics, celestial mechanics, atmospheric flight mechanics, navigation and guidance, and space-related sciences. Coverage includes such topics as attitude dynamics, orbit determination, trajectory optimization, space mission analysis, numerical methods, maneuvering flight vehicles, dynamics and control of large flexible space structures and space science related to new astronautical systems and their applications.
