Synthesis of Ballistic Capture Corridors at Mars via Polynomial Chaos Expansion
Martina Liotta, Gianmario Merisio, Carmine Giordano +1
The space sector is experiencing a flourishing growth and evidence is mounting that the near future will be characterized by a large amount of deep-space missions. In the last deca…
Finding regions of bounded motion in binary asteroid environment using Lagrangian descriptors
Sebastiano Raffa, Gianmario Merisio, Francesco Topputo
Trajectory design in highly-perturbed environments like binary asteroids is challenging. It typically requires using realistic, non-autonomous dynamical models in which periodic so…
Qualitative study of ballistic capture at Mars via Lagrangian descriptors
Alessio Quinci, Gianmario Merisio, Francesco Topputo
Lagrangian descriptors reveal the dynamical skeleton governing transport mechanisms of a generic flow. In doing so, they unveil geometrical structures in the phase space that separ…
Stable sets mapping with Taylor differential algebra with application to ballistic capture orbits around Mars
Thomas Caleb, Gianmario Merisio, Pierluigi Di Lizia +1
Ballistic capture orbits offer safer Mars injection at longer transfer time. However, the search for such an extremely rare event is a computationally intensive process. Indeed, it…
Characterization of the ejecta from NASA/DART impact on Dimorphos: observations and Monte Carlo models
Fernando Moreno, Adriano Campo Bagatin, Gonzalo Tancredi +26
The NASA/DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) spacecraft successfully crashed on Dimorphos, the secondary component of the binary (65803) Didymos system. Following the impact, a…
