This list includes: all journal articles, conference articles, chapters and sections of books, and magazine articles, independent of topic, purpose or quality, which have appeared from 2000 until the present.  Errata are listed both separately and with the original journal publication. Conference articles printed in the Advances in the Astronautical Sciences and similar series are listed as conference articles according to the date of the conference presentation. The order of items in this list reflects the date of presentation for conference articles and the official date of the journal issue for journal publications. Author lists are as they were in the publication. The presenter of a conference article, if not the first author, is indicated by an asterisk.  The absence of the word “Proceedings” or of explicit page numbers indicates that a bound proceedings was never published. The more important works have the publication index in boldface; other works are either insignificant or have been superseded by later works. (17 July 2007)
