A distributed attitude control law for formation flying based on the Cucker-smale model
(2014)
Conference report

A new subdivision algorithm for the flow propagation using polynomial algebras
(2018-08-01)
Article
Open AccessThe Jet Transport method has emerged as a powerful tool for the numerical integration of ordinary differential equations; it uses polynomial expansions to approximate the flow map associated to the differential equation ... -
A note on the dynamics around the Lagrange collinear points of the Earth-Moon system in a complete Solar System model
(2013-02)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn 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 ... -

A note on Weak Stability Boundaries
(2006-12-08)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper is devoted to clarify the algorithmic definition of the weak stability boundary in the framework of the planar Restricted Three Body Problem. The role of the invariant hyperbolic manifolds associated to the ... -
An efficient statistical adaptive order-switching methodology for kalman filters
(2021-02)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyVariants and improvements of the extended Kalman filter (EKF) always encounter a dilemma between the estimation accuracy delivered and the computational burden associated. Targeting to improve this shortcoming, achieving ... -
Analysis of the relative dynamics of a charged spacecraft moving under the influence of a magnetic field
(2018-09-01)
Article
Open AccessWe 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 ... -
Capturing small asteroids into a Sun-Earth Lagrangian point

Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn 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 ... -
