Dynamics Around an Asteroid Modeled as a Mass Tripole
L. B. T. Santos, L. O. Marchi, P. A. Sousa-Silva +3
The orbital dynamics of a spacecraft orbiting around irregular small celestial bodies is a challenging problem. Difficulties to model the gravity field of these bodies arise from t…
Analysis of the dynamics of a spacecraft in the vicinity of an asteroid binary system with equal masses
L. B. T. Santos, P. A. Sousa-Silva, M. O. Terra +8
In this work, we performed a dynamical analysis of a spacecraft around a nearly equal-mass binary near-Earth asteroid with application to the asteroid 2017 YE5, which is also a pos…
A Particle-Linkage Model for Elongated Asteroids with Three-Dimensional Mass Distribution
Leonardo B. T. Santos, Luis. O. Marchi, Aljbaae Safwan +3
The goal of the present paper is to develop a simplified model to describe the gravitational fields of elongated asteroids. The proposed model consists of representing an elongated…
