      Article
      Accés obert
      Performing orbital insertion around Mars using aerocapture instead of a propulsive orbit insertion maneuver allows the saving of resources and/or the increase of the payload mass fraction. Aerocapture has never been employed ...

      Article
      Accés obert
      We present and discuss a solution to the growing demand for satellite telecommunication coverage in the high-latitude geographical regions (beyond 55°N), where the signal from geostationary satellites is limited or ...
    • Minimum-fuel escape from two body sun-earth system 

      Colasurdo, Guido; Casalino, Lorenzo; Fantino, Elena (1999)
      Article
      Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
      Escaping from the solar system by receiving gravity assist from the Earth is considered in this paper. A simple procedure,which neglects the eccentricity of the Earth’s orbit and uses the two-body problem equations and ...
    • On the mechanisms of natural transport in the solar system 

      Masdemont Soler, Josep; Ren, Yuan; Gómez Muntané, Gerard; Fantino, Elena (2010)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      Some minor bodies in the solar system (i.e., comets, asteroids and planetary ejecta) are capable of performing transfers from their original location to very distant places, provided they possess sufficiently large ...
    • On the relationship between the weak stability boundary region of the earth and the low-energy transfers to the moon 

      Masdemont Soler, Josep; Ren, Yuan; Gómez Muntané, Gerard; Fantino, Elena (2009)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      The term Weak Stability Boundary (WSB) is related to a region of stable motion around the second primary of a circular restricted three-body problem (CR3BP). Previous work on this subject has shown that, at a given energy ...

      Article
      Accés obert
      Lambert's problem is the two-point boundary-value problem resulting from a two-body orbital transfer between two position vectors in a given time. It lies at the very heart of several fundamental astrodynamics and space ...
