Venus' slow axial rotation, equivalent to 243 Earth days, creates a unique astrodynamical
occurrence: Venus synchronous orbit is located outside the planet's gravitational sphere of …

This paper investigates the mission planning problem for spacecraft confronting orbital
debris to achieve autonomous avoidance. Firstly, combined with the avoidance …

In the past two years of 2023-2024, two space vehicles were inserted into orbits about Sun-
Earth Lagrange points, joining eight other spacecraft about the L 1 and L 2 points. As …

Jupiter's many moons and the potentiality for water and life on these celestial bodies have
significantly increased interest in the Jovian system. Missions to the Jovian system aim to …

Monte Carlo simulations of spacecraft breakup events in Low Lunar Orbit are conducted to
study the behavior of artificial debris across all orbit types in this environment. 2000 breakup …

This chapter comprehensively explores the unique challenges, risks, and gaps associated
with managing space traffic in cislunar and cismartian environments, focusing on the …

This paper presents a theoretical examination of the potential debris conjunction dangers
faced by mega-constellations in both low Earth orbit (LEO) and medium Earth orbit (MEO) …

Cislunar space is a region of growing interest with nations investing resources to cultivate
