This paper highlights the design of the transfer phase of EQUULEUS (EQUilibriUm Lunar- Earth point 6U Spacecraft), which aims to reach and stay at the Earth-Moon L2 libration point …
Following their success in low Earth orbit, nanospacecraft weighing less than 25 kg may soon contribute to the exploration of the Solar System. This paper outlines the necessary …
THE democratization of space exploration is manifest in the number of nanospacecraft launched in the year 2014. Two-thirds of the 158 nanosatellites (1–25 kg) and …
In deep space exploration with micro/nano-spacecraft, the relatively high cost of trajectory correction and orbit determination is an important issue. In this study, a method is proposed …
The LUMIO mission, presented as response to the fourth edition of the SysNova competition organized by ESA, proposes to insert a CubeSat in a halo orbit near the L2 Lagrangian …
