Incorporating quasi-periodic orbits into the preliminary design process offers a wide range of
options to meet mission constraints and address the challenges in a complex trade space. In …

Given the numerous possibilities that formation flying space missions can enable, being
able to design and govern relative trajectories in this scenario is fundamental. Particularly …

Quasi-satellite orbits are of great interest for the exploration of planetary moons because of
their dynamical features and close proximity with respect to the surface of scientifically …

Maintaining tracks on space objects with limited sets of observers is a critical problem, made
more urgent with exponential growth in the population of near-Earth satellites. An optimally …

Examining the properties of quasi-periodic orbits provides insight into the Sun-perturbed
environment in cislunar space. In this investigation, quasi-periodic trajectories and their …

The Martian Moons eXploration mission, currently under development by the Japan
Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), will be launched in 2024 with the goal of retrieving …

The Keplerian orbital elements make up a set of parameters that uniquely describe a two-
body trajectory. Once perturbations are imposed on two-body dynamics, one often studies …

The dynamical environment on and about the Martian moon Phobos is explored. This
planetary moon provides a unique dynamical environment in the solar system, being subject …

To better understand the orbital dynamics of exoplanets around close binary stars, ie,
circumbinary planets (CBPs), we applied techniques from dynamical systems theory to a …

Quasi-periodic orbits offer a broad range of flexibly and adaptable destinations in multi-body
systems. In this investigation, a computational framework for construction of heteroclinic …
