Sorry abishekgopal, Ive been away for about 1 year. That absence has probably been too long to give any advice in the timescale you needed, but I will try to answer your question. I dont think that its too much of a jump for you to do that (if you havent yet). I started with Bates Mueller and White. Its really more about the work you put in in school. Computer science and engineering itself isnt a bad start, especially if youve focused on programming. To solve most practical astrodynamics problems you end up writing codes. The more efficiently the better (and better packaged onboard something).

At any rate, sorry about my absence. I havent had time for orbiter this past year. I returned to the forum for the first time in ages today to release something i worked out this summer. Sorry if Ive been lousy help because of it.

hi,
I was reading your post about the astrodynamics program at the Texas A&M . I'm doing my undergraduate in Computer Science and Engineering. I'm dying to switch to aerospace ,and in particular - astrodynamics. I'm in my final year of study and I've just taken my GRE. Is it possible for me to change fields so radically? BTW I have a copy of Bate ,Mueller and White with me and I was pretty good at Physics when I left High School. And I have the confidence that I can learn this stuff. Plus the experience with Orbiter definitely helps to understand the concepts. Could you guide me through the process of university selection?
