Analytical framework for mutual approximations -- Derivation and application to Jovian satellites
M. Fayolle, D. Dirkx, P. N. A. M. Visser +1
The apparent close encounters of two satellites in the plane of the sky, called mutual approximations, have been suggested as a different type of astrometric observation to refine…
Laser and Radio Tracking for Planetary Science Missions - A Comparison
Dominic Dirkx, Ivan Prochazka, Sven Bauer +4
At present, tracking data for planetary missions largely consists of radio observables: range-rate range and angular position. Future planetary missions may use Interplanetary Lase…
On the contribution of PRIDE-JUICE to Jovian system ephemerides
Dominic Dirkx, Leonid I. Gurvits, Valery Lainey +5
The JUICE mission will perform detailed measurements of the properties of the Galilean moons, with a nominal in-system science-mission duration of about 3.5 years. Using both the r…
Space-time Dynamics Estimation from Space Mission Tracking Data
Dominic Dirkx, Ron Noomen, Pieter Visser +2
Many physical parameters that can be estimated from space mission tracking data influence both the translational dynamics and proper time rates of observers. These different proper…
