Space Occupancy in Low-Earth Orbit
Claudio Bombardelli, Gabriele Falco, Davide Amato +1
With the upcoming launch of large constellations of satellites in the low-Earth orbit (LEO) region it will become important to organize the physical space occupied by the different…
Lunar close encounters compete with the circumterrestrial Lidov-Kozai effect
Davide Amato, Renu Malhotra, Vladislav Sidorenko +1
Luna 3 (or Lunik 3 in Russian sources) was the first spacecraft to perform a flyby of the Moon. Launched in October 1959 on a translunar trajectory with large semi-major axis and e…
Assessing and Minimizing Collisions in Satellite Mega-Constellations
Nathan Reiland, Aaron J. Rosengren, Renu Malhotra +1
We aim to provide satellite operators and researchers with an efficient means for evaluating and mitigating collision risk during the design process of mega-constellations. We firs…
Non-singular recursion formulas for third-body perturbations in mean vectorial elements
M. Lara, A. J. Rosengren, E. Fantino
The description of the long-term dynamics of highly elliptic orbits under third-body perturbations may require an expansion of the disturbing function in series of the semi-major a…
