A Relativistic Motion Integrator: Numerical accuracy and illustration with BepiColombo and Mars-NEXT
A. Hees, S. Pireaux
Today, the motion of spacecraft is still described by the classical Newtonian equations of motion plus some relativistic corrections. This approach might become cumbersome due to t…

Vibrating systems in Schwarzschild spacetime: towards new experiments in gravitation?
L. Bergamin, P. Delva, A. Hees
In this paper the effects of vibrations at high frequencies onto a freely falling two-body system in Schwarzschild spacetime are investigated. As reference motion of the same syste…
