abstract = "Studies related to Celestial Mechanics started long ago, and it is
one of the oldest fields in Astronomy. It started to try to
explain the motions of the stars in the sky, in particular the
irregular motion of some of those of then, which were really the
planets of the Solar System. In the 20th century, with the arrival
of the {"}Space Age{"}, many applications related to the motion of
artificial spacecrafts appeared. This new field was called
{"}Astrodynamics{"}, to designate the use of Celestial Mechanics
in man-made objects. Several aspects, like orbit determination,
maneuvers to change the orbit of the spacecraft, etc., are covered
by this topic. The present Focus Issue in Celestial Mechanics
publishes a list of papers in topics related to applications in
Celestial Mechanics to both situations: natural and artificial
satellites.",
