Stable or nearly stable orbits do not generally possess well-distinguished manifold
structures that assist in designing trajectories for departing from or arriving onto a periodic …

OMOTENASHE and EQUULEUS are two 6-U CubeSats by JAXA and The University of
Tokyo to be launched in 2019 onboard of NASA's Exploration Mission 1. This paper …

Abstract Near Rectilinear Halo Orbits (NRHOs) are stable or nearly stable orbits that are
defined as part of the L1 and L2 halo orbit families in the circular restricted three-body …

The orbits of interest for potential missions are stable or nearly stable to maintain long term
presence for conducting scientific studies and to reduce the possibility of rapid departure …

This paper highlights natural transport pathways between in-plane and out-of-plane states
associated with the vertical instability of planar Lyapunov orbits around the Lagrange points …

For explorations of the far side of the Moon, it is necessary to tackle the challenge of
navigation and communication as the far side is invisible to the Earth. This paper proposes a …

Fast development of CubeSat technology now enables the first interplanetary missions. The
potential application of CubeSats to flyby near-Earth asteroids is explored in this paper in …

Strategies for rapid trajectory design within multi-body systems typically focus on leveraging
dynamical systems and traditional optimization theory for analysis and initial guess …

In this paper, optimal solutions are investigated for a transfer from a parking orbit around the
Moon to a halo orbit around L 2 of the Earth-Moon system. The transfers are executed by …

Stable or nearly stable orbits do not always possess well-distinguished manifold structures
that assist in departing from or arriving onto the orbit. Generally, for potential missions, the …
