EDITORIAL INFORMATION

The John L. Junkins Astrodynamics Symposium was held May 23-24, 2003 at the George Bush Conference Center at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. The purpose of this Symposium was to bring together many former students, leading researchers in the field of Astrodynamics, and collegues of Professor Junkins to felicitate him on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday. Twenty-six papers were presented over the course of two days, in seven technical sessions. Two additional papers which could not be presented due to lack of time are also included in this volume.
