Chaotic transport of navigation satellites
Ioannis Gkolias, Jerome Daquin, Despoina K. Skoulidou +2
Navigation satellites are known from numerical studies to reside in a dynamically sensitive environment, which may be of profound importance for their long-term sustainability. We…
Accurate modelling of the low-order secondary resonances in the spin-orbit problem
Ioannis Gkolias, Christos Efthymiopoulos, Alessandra Celletti +1
We provide an analytical approximation to the dynamics in each of the three most important low order secondary resonances (1:1, 2:1, and 3:1) bifurcating from the synchronous prima…
Towards a sustainable exploitation of the geosynchronous orbital region
Ioannis Gkolias, Camilla Colombo
In this work the orbital dynamics of Earth satellites about the geosynchronous altitude are explored, with primary goal to assess current mitigation guidelines as well as to discus…
