A Method for Accurate and Efficient Propagation of Satellite Orbits: A Case Study for a Molniya Orbit
Roberto Flores, Burhani Makame Burhani, Elena Fantino
Fast and precise propagation of satellite orbits is required for mission design, orbit determination and payload data analysis. We present a method to improve the computational per…
Long-Term Orbit Dynamics of Decommissioned Geostationary Satellites
Simone Proietti, Roberto Flores, Elena Fantino +1
In nominal mission scenarios, geostationary satellites perform end-of-life orbit maneuvers to reach suitable disposal orbits, where they do not interfere with operational satellite…
An Automatic Tree Search Algorithm for the Tisserand Graph
D. de la Torre Sangrà, E. Fantino, R. Flores +2
The Tisserand graph (TG) is a graphical tool commonly employed in the preliminary design of gravity-assisted trajectories. The TG is a two-dimensional map showing essential orbital…
Reduction of Saturn Orbit Insertion Impulse using Deep-Space Low Thrust
Elena Fantino, Roberto Flores, Jesus Pelaez +1
Orbit insertion at Saturn requires a large impulsive manoeuver due to the velocity difference between the spacecraft and the planet. This paper presents a strategy to reduce dramat…
