Interesting dynamics at high mutual inclination in the framework of the Kozai problem with an eccentric perturber
A. -S. Libert, N. Delsate
We study the dynamics of the 3-D three-body problem of a small body moving under the attractions of a star and a giant planet which orbits the star on a much wider and elliptic orb…
Analytical and numerical study of the ground-track resonances of Dawn orbiting Vesta
N. Delsate
The aim of Dawn mission is the acquisition of data from orbits around two bodies, (4)Vesta and (1)Ceres, the two most massive asteroids. Due to the low thrust propulsion, Dawn will…
NIMASTEP: a software to modelize, study and analyze the dynamics of various small objects orbiting specific bodies
N. Delsate, A. Compère
NIMASTEP is a dedicated numerical software developed by us, which allows one to integrate the osculating motion (using cartesian coordinates) in a Newtonian approach of an object c…
Frozen Orbits at high eccentricity and inclination: Application to Mercury orbiter
N. Delsate, P. Robutel, A. Lemaitre +1
We hereby study the stability of a massless probe orbiting around an oblate central body (planet or planetary satellite) perturbed by a third body, assumed to lie in the equatorial…
Global dynamics of high area-to-mass ratios GEO space debris by means of the MEGNO indicator
S. Valk, N. Delsate, A. Lemaitre +1
In this paper we provide an extensive analysis of the global dynamics of high-area-to-mass ratios geosynchronous (GEO) space debris, applying a recent technique developed by Cincot…
