SINCE the late 1970s, libration points and bounded trajectories around them have become
of practical interest, allowing a number of convenient and useful properties Keplerian motion …

We present an overview of detailed computational results for families of periodic orbits that
emanate from the five libration points in the Circular Restricted 3-Body Problem, as well as …

In this book we describe the basic principles, problems, and methods of cl-sical mechanics.
Our main attention is devoted to the mathematical side of the subject. Although the physical …

This paper concerns heteroclinic connections and resonance transitions in the planar
circular restricted 3-body problem, with applications to the dynamics of comets and asteroids …

Poincaré's program for the global analysis of a dynamical system starts by considering
simple solutions, such as equilibria and periodic orbits, together with their corresponding …

Based on years of research conducted at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Low-Energy
Lunar Trajectory Design provides high-level information to mission managers and detailed …

This paper is devoted to the analysis of an extended neighborhood of the collinear
equilibrium points of the restricted three body problem. The analysis is done using numerical …

As evidenced by the Global Exploration Roadmap, international interest exists in a new era
of human exploration of the solar system. Such an effort is commencing with the examination …

This work presents a robust Model Predictive Controller (MPC) to solve the problem of
spacecraft rendezvous in the context of the restricted three-body problem (R3BP) as will be …

Abstract Collinear Earth–Moon libration points have emerged as locations with immediate
applications. These libration point orbits are inherently unstable and must be maintained …
