Transfers between moons with escape and capture patterns via Lyapunov exponent maps
David Canales, Kathleen C. Howell, Elena Fantino +1
This contribution focuses on the design of low-energy transfers between planetary moons and presents an efficient technique to compute trajectories characterized by desirable behav…
Higher-order composition of short- and long-period effects for improving analytical ephemeris computation
Martin Lara, Elena Fantino, Hadi Susanto +1
The construction of an analytic orbit theory that takes into account the main effects of the Geopotential is notably simplified when splitting the removal of periodic effects in se…
Statistical Study of Uncontrolled Geostationary Satellites Near an Unstable Equilibrium Point
Roberto Flores, Mauro Pontani, Elena Fantino
The growth of the population of space debris in the geostationary ring and the resulting threat to active satellites require insight into the dynamics of uncontrolled objects in th…
A new automated strategy for optimizing inclined interplanetary low-thrust trajectories
Burhani M. Burhani, Elena Fantino, Roberto Flores +1
This study proposes a new automated strategy for designing and optimizing three-dimensional interplanetary low-thrust (LT) trajectories. The method formulates the design as a hybri…
End-to-end trajectory concept for close exploration of Saturn's Inner Large Moons
Elena Fantino, Burhani M. Burhani, Roberto Flores +3
We present a trajectory concept for a small mission to the four inner large satellites of Saturn. Leveraging the high efficiency of electric propulsion, the concept enables orbit i…
