Ti Chen received the Ph.D. degree in dynamics and control from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing, China, in 2017. From April 2017 to July 2017, he was a research assistant with Department of Electronic Engineering, City University of Hong Kong. From August 2017 to February 2020, he was a post-doctoral fellow with Department of Earth and Space Science and Engineering, York University. From March 2020 to December 2020, he held a joint postdoctoral fellowship offered by Department of Earth and Space Science and Engineering, York University and the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies. He is currently a professor at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. He is a Senior Member of AIAA, a Senior Member of CSVE and a Member of IEEE. His research interests include in-orbit autonomous assembly, dynamics and control of multiple flexible spacecraft, drone transportation, and complex structure dynamics and control. 

Dr. Jinjun Shan is an internationally recognized expert in the areas of dynamics, control and navigation. He joined York University as an Assistant Professor of Space Engineering in 2006 and was promoted to Full Professor in 2016. Prior to his appointment in York, he was a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies (UTIAS) in 2003-2006 and a Research Assistant at the Department of Manufacturing Engineering and Engineering Management (MEEM), City University of Hong Kong, in 2002-2003. He received his B.Eng., M.Eng., and Ph.D. degrees all from Harbin Institute of Technology, China, in 1997, 1999, and 2002, respectively. Dr. Shan has made outstanding contributions to several national and international space missions including the NEOSSat.He has attracted over $5 million in research funding from various governmental agencies and industry partners. His research progress is demonstrated through over 190 peer-reviewed journal and conference

"Each chapter is endowed with its own reference list. The book strongly relies on the authors' own experience and can be recommended to researcher in the fields of applied mathematics and flight mechanics and control. With an additional effort it might be useful to graduate students." (Vladimir Rasvan, zbMATH 1506.70002, 2023)
