THIS paper is the second of a series of two, in which we study the endgame problem in
detail, which is the last part of a trajectory before the insertion maneuver into the science …

IN RECENT years both NASA and ESA have studied a variety of mission options to the
Galilean moons at Jupiter and to the moons of Saturn, including Enceladus and Titan. A very …

In response to the scientific interest in Jupiter's Galilean moons, NASA and ESA have plans
to send orbiting missions to Europa and Ganymede, respectively. The inter-moon transfers …

An analysis is presented of gravity assisted flybys in the planar, circular, restricted three-
body problem (pcr3bp) that is inspired by the Keplerian map and by the Tisserand-Poincaré …

Tisserand-leveraging transfers (TILTs) are introduced as a new method for computing low-Δ
v orbit transfers with the help of third-body perturbations. The TILTs can mitigate the costs …

In this work, the final approach typical of a trajectory traveling from the last resonance of an
endgame scenario in a tour down to a moon is examined within the context of invariant …

Incorporating multi-body dynamics into preliminary spacecraft trajectory design expands the
design space and provides trajectory options that may not otherwise be available. However …

Intermoon transfers are important components of planetary tour missions. However, these
transfers are challenging to design due in part to the chaotic environment created by the …

MANY techniques focus on the design of spacecraft trajectories. For example, invariant
manifolds of the planar circular restricted three-body problem (PCR3BP) can be used to find …

Interplanetary space travel has played an important role in the development of our
knowledge of the solar system. For decades, probes have been sent in various destinations …
