Spin-Orbit Coupling of Europa's Ice Shell and Interior
Ethan Burnett, Paul Hayne
Europa is an icy ocean world, differentiated into a floating ice shell and solid interior, separated by a global ocean. The classical spin-orbit coupling problem considers a satell…
Spacecraft Relative Motion Dynamics and Control Using Fundamental Solution Constants
Ethan Burnett, Hanspeter Schaub
This paper explores expressing the relative state in the close-proximity satellite relative motion problem in terms of fundamental solution constants. The nominal uncontrolled rela…
Geometric Perspectives on Fundamental Solutions in the Linearized Satellite Relative Motion Problem
Ethan Burnett, Hanspeter Schaub
Understanding natural relative motion trajectories is critical to enable fuel-efficient multi-satellite missions operating in complex environments. This paper studies the problem o…
Approximating Orbits in a Rotating Gravity Field with Oblateness and Ellipticity Perturbations
Ethan Burnett, Hanspeter Schaub
This paper explores the problem of analytically approximating the orbital state for a subset of orbits in a rotating potential with oblateness and ellipticity perturbations. This i…
Europa's Hemispheric Color Dichotomy as a Constraint on Non-synchronous Rotation
Ethan Burnett, Paul Hayne
Europa's surface reflectance exhibits a pronounced hemispheric dichotomy, which is hypothesized to form due to enhanced irradiation of the trailing hemisphere by energetic particle…
