Feasibility Study of Aerocapture at Mars with an Innovative Deployable Heat Shield
Giorgio Isoletta, Michele Grassi, Elena Fantino +2
Performing orbital insertion around Mars using aerocapture instead of a propulsive orbit insertion manoeuvre allows to save resources and/or increase the payload mass fraction. Aer…
Reduction of Saturn Orbit Insertion Impulse using Deep-Space Low Thrust
Elena Fantino, Roberto Flores, Jesus Pelaez +1
Orbit insertion at Saturn requires a large impulsive manoeuver due to the velocity difference between the spacecraft and the planet. This paper presents a strategy to reduce dramat…
On the minimum orbital intersection distance computation: a new effective method
Jose M. Hedo, Manuel Ruiz, Jesus Pelaez
The computation of the Minimum Orbital Intersection Distance (MOID) is an old, but increasingly relevant problem. Fast and precise methods for MOID computation are needed to select…
