Fully analytical propagator for lunar satellite orbits in closed form
Rita Mastroianni, Edoardo Legnaro, Christos Efthymiopoulos
We present a fully analytical propagator for the orbits of lunar artificial satellites in a lunar gravity and third-body model sufficiently precise for a wide range of practical ap…
Secular dynamics and the lifetimes of lunar artificial satellites under natural force-driven orbital evolution
Edoardo Legnaro, Christos Efthymiopoulos
In this paper, we study the long-term (time scale of several years) orbital evolution of lunar satellites under the sole action of natural forces. In particular, we focus on secula…
A detailed dynamical model for inclination-only dependent lunisolar resonances. Effect on the "eccentricity growth" mechanism
Edoardo Legnaro, Christos Efthymiopoulos
The focus of this paper is on inclination-only dependent lunisolar resonances, which shape the dynamics of a MEO (Medium Earth Orbit) object over secular time scales (i.e. several…
