In this paper we address the feasibility of capturing small Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs) into the vicinity of the Sun-Earth L-2 libration point using a continuous-thrust propulsion system assumed to be attached to the ...

Using as reference test model the Planar Circular Restricted Three Body Problem, this paper explores its Lagrangian Coherent Structures, as well as its Hyperbolic Lagrangian Coherent Structures. The purpose is to identify ...

His paper studies the dynamics of stable regions for relatively long time intervals (practical stability) in the vicinity of the triangular equilibrium points of a binary asteroid with mass ratio µ larger than Rouths ...

The analysis of the phase space geometry around the artificial L1,2 equilibrium points of the circular restricted three-body problem, including solar radiation pressure, is used to investigate “propellant-free” transfers ...

In this paper we present a methodology for the automatic generation of quasi–periodic libration point trajectories (Lissajous and quasi–halo) of the Spatial, Circular Restricted Three–Body Problem. This methodology is ...

In this paper we look forward to obtain a global picture of simple transfer opportunities from Lunar to Sun-Earth libration orbits, useful for a preliminary design of these mission scenarios. Considering the trajectory of ...

We consider the problem of state and parameter estimation for geostationary spacecraft in an accurate and efficient way. For this purpose we implement a Jet Transport Taylor technique in two coordinate representations, ...

The parameterization method (pm) has been used to compute high-order parameterizations of invariant manifolds of vector fields at fixed points. This paper extends such approach to invariant manifolds of periodically-perturbed ...

Based on the jet transport technique, this paper proposes a novel nonlinear Kalman filter for simultaneously estimating the spacecraft state vector and uncertain parameters, either physically related with the spacecraft ...

Most of the craters on the surface of the Moon were created by the collision of minor bodies of the Solar System, in particular asteroids coming from the Main Belt as a consequence of different types of resonance. Our ...
