Analytical investigations of quasi-circular frozen orbits in the Martian gravity field
Xiaodong Liu, Hexi Baoyin, Xingrui Ma
Frozen orbits are always important foci of orbit design because of their valuable characteristics that their eccentricity and argument of pericentre remain constant on average. Thi…
Extension of the critical inclination
Xiaodong Liu, Hexi Baoyin, Xingrui Ma
The critical inclination is of special interest in artificial satellite theory. The critical inclination can maintain minimal deviations of eccentricity and argument of pericentre…
Equilibria, periodic orbits around equilibria, and heteroclinic connections in the gravity field of a rotating homogeneous cube
Xiaodong Liu, Hexi Baoyin, Xingrui Ma
This paper investigates the dynamics of a particle orbiting around a rotating homogeneous cube, and shows fruitful results that have implications for examining the dynamics of orbi…
Periodic orbits in the gravity field of a fixed homogeneous cube
Xiaodong Liu, Hexi Baoyin, Xingrui Ma
In the current study, the existence of periodic orbits around a fixed homogeneous cube is investigated, and the results have powerful implications for examining periodic orbits aro…
Five Special Types of Orbits Around Mars
Xiaodong Liu, Hexi Baoyin, Xingrui Ma
The abstract is additional with repect to the paper published in JGCD. Ordinary Earth satellites are usually placed into five categories of special orbits: sun-synchronous orbits,…
