    I found Spacetrack Report#3 on an Internet search.  So, armed with
    Spacetrack Report#3, and "Fundamentals of Astrodynamics", will I have
    just about all of the mathematical basis imaginable for understanding the
    properties of orbiting satellites?  Put another way, what
    satellite-related problem will I *NOT* be able to figure out?
    
    Thank you!
