Proximity Operations about Apophis through its 2029 Earth Flyby
Daniel J. Scheeres
The dynamics and control of a satellite in proximity to the asteroid Apophis across its Earth close approach in 2029 is evaluated and investigated. First, the feasibility of carryi…
Averaged Solar Torque Rotational Dynamics for Defunct Satellites
Conor J. Benson, Daniel J. Scheeres
Spin state predictions for defunct satellites in geosynchronous earth orbit (GEO) are valuable for active debris removal and servicing missions as well as material shedding studies…
Energy Dissipation in Synchronous Binary Asteroids
Alex J. Meyer, Daniel J. Scheeres, Harrison F. Agrusa +5
Synchronous binary asteroids can experience libration about their tidally-locked equilibrium, which will result in energy dissipation. This is an important topic to the Asteroid Im…
Transmission of a Seismic Wave generated by impacts on Granular Asteroids
Paul Sánchez, Daniel J. Scheeres, Alice C. Quillen
In this paper we use a Soft-Sphere Discrete Element method code to simulate the transmission and study the attenuation of a seismic wave. Then, we apply our findings to the differe…
Gravity Estimation at Small Bodies via Optical Tracking of Hopping Artificial Probes
Jacopo Villa, Andrew French, Jay McMahon +2
Despite numerous successful missions to small celestial bodies, the gravity field of such targets has been poorly characterized so far. Gravity estimates can be used to infer the i…
