Hyperbolic orbits of Earth flybys and effects of ungravity-inspired conservative potentials
O. Bertolami, F. Francisco, P. J. S. Gil
In this work we take a critical look at the available data on the flyby anomaly and on the current limitations of attempts to develop an explanation. We aim to verify how conservat…
Modelling the nongravitational acceleration during Cassini's gravitation experiments
O. Bertolami, F. Francisco, P. J. S. Gil +1
In this paper we present a computation of the thermally generated acceleration of the Cassini probe during its solar conjunction experiment, obtained from a model of the spacecraft…
OSS (Outer Solar System): A fundamental and planetary physics mission to Neptune, Triton and the Kuiper Belt
Bruno Christophe, Linda J. Spilker, John D. Anderson +46
The present OSS mission continues a long and bright tradition by associating the communities of fundamental physics and planetary sciences in a single mission with ambitious goals…
Modelling the reflective thermal contribution to the acceleration of the Pioneer spacecraft
F. Francisco, O. Bertolami, P. J. S. Gil +1
We present an improved method to compute the radiative momentum transfer in the Pioneer 10 & 11 spacecraft that takes into account both diffusive and specular reflection. The metho…
Estimating radiative momentum transfer through a thermal analysis of the Pioneer Anomaly
O. Bertolami, F. Francisco, P. J. S. Gil +1
A methodology based on point-like sources is discussed, enabling a reliable estimate of the acceleration of the Pioneer 10 and 11 probes caused by thermal effects. A sensitivity an…
Quantum Physics Exploring Gravity in the Outer Solar System: The Sagas Project
P. Wolf, Ch. J. Bordé, A. Clairon +52
We summarise the scientific and technological aspects of the SAGAS (Search for Anomalous Gravitation using Atomic Sensors) project, submitted to ESA in June 2007 in response to the…
