Cislunar Pursuit-Evasion Game on Periodic and Quasi-Periodic Orbits
Quentin Rommel, Filippos Fotiadis, Cade Armstrong +2
Cislunar spacecraft operate in nonlinear and unstable environments that make defensive maneuver planning difficult. We formulate cislunar spacecraft pursuit and evasion as a zero-s…
Effective Stability of Near-Rectilinear Halo Orbits in the Earth-Moon System
Joan Gimeno, Luke T. Peterson
Near-rectilinear halo orbits (NRHOs) around Earth-Moon L2 in the Circular Restricted 3-Body Problem (CR3BP) exhibit a complex dynamical landscape, featuring a band of normally elli…
Structure of Periodic Orbit Families in the Hill Restricted 4-Body Problem
Gavin M. Brown, Luke T. Peterson, Damennick B. Henry +1
The Hill Restricted 4-Body Problem (HR4BP) is a coherent time-periodic model that can be used to represent motion in the Sun-Earth-Moon (SEM) system. Periodic orbits were computed…
Dynamics Around the Earth-Moon Triangular Points in the Hill Restricted 4-Body Problem
Luke T. Peterson, Gavin Brown, Àngel Jorba +1
This paper investigates the motion of a small particle moving near the triangular points of the Earth-Moon system. The dynamics are modeled in the Hill restricted 4-body problem (H…
