It is known that most of the craters on the surface of the Moon were created by the collision of minor bodies of the Solar System. Main Belt Asteroids, which can approach the terrestrial planets as a consequence of ...

We analyse a dynamical scenario where a constantly charged spacecraft (follower) moves in the vicinity of another one (leader) that follows a circular Keplerian orbit around the Earth and generates a rotating magnetic ...

In this paper we study the dynamics of a massless particle around the L 1,2 libration points of the Earth–Moon system in a full Solar System gravitational model. The study is based on the analysis of the quasi-periodic ...

Swarms of spacecraft are an idea that has been growing in interest in the last few years. This work focuses on the strategies and costs for the maintenance of a swarm of a large number of spacecraft in a close neighborhood ...

The aim of this paper is to study the capture of small Near Earth Objects (NEOs) into the Sun-Earth L2 using low-thrust propulsion for mining or science purposes. As it is well known, the vicinity of these points is inside ...

The purpose of this paper is to obtain a third-order expression, for the in-plane and out-of-plane amplitudes, of the solutions of the elliptic Hill–Clohessy–Wiltshire non-linear equations. The resulting third-order solution ...

To measure the contribution of individual transactions inside the total risk of a credit portfolio is a major issue in financial institutions. VaR Contributions (VaRC) and Expected Shortfall Contributions (ESC) have become ...

Using as reference test model the Planar Circular Restricted Three Body Prob- lem, this paper explores its Lagrangian Coherent Structures, as well as its Hy- perbolic Lagrangian Coherent Structures. The purpose is to ...

This work investigates end-of-life trajectories for spacecraft in orbit about the sun–Earth L1
