This study was done to investigate the effect of perturbations of both oblate massive primaries on the periodic orbit-attitude behavior of satellites at the three-body problem …
The motion of a spacecraft in proximity to a small body is significantly perturbed due to its irregular gravity field and solar radiation pressure. In such a strongly perturbed environment …

This document reflects the effort of constructing a basis for understanding attitude motion within a multi-body problem with application to spacecraft flight dynamics. The circular …
Through the art of applying assumptions which restrict the orbital shape and relative inclination of celestial bodies such as the Earth and Moon, trajectory prediction of small …

The gravitational coupling of the orbit and attitude motions of a large flexible solar power satellite (SPS) is studied in this paper. The orbital and attitude dynamical equations of a SPS …
Predicting the attitude of spacecraft traveling within the Cislunar region is crucial to ensure the success of future missions planned within that realm of space. To consider the coupled …

This paper addresses the problem of spacecraft attitude and position synchronization in libration point orbits between a leader and a follower. Using dual quaternion, the …
This study investigated periodic coupled orbit—attitude motions within the perturbed circular restricted three-body problem (P-CRTBP) concerning the perturbations of a radiated …
