A new non-simplified model of formation flying is derived in the presence of an oblate main-
body and third-body perturbation. In the proposed model, considering the perturbation of the …

The oblateness of a planet has an important effect on the surrounding spacecraft and is
usually regarded as a significant perturbation factor to spacecraft's motion. In this paper, an …

The main idea of this paper is to propose the construction of an “Escape Portal” to send a
spacecraft to the exterior planets, or even to make it escape from the Solar System, using a …

This work performs a computational investigation of the energy variations given by a
powered Swing-By maneuver realized in an elliptical system. It extends previous works by …

The goal of the present paper is to search and study mid-range planar orbits for a spacecraft
traveling near Phobos. The first step is to make a numerical search and classification of …

In this paper we search for mid-range planar orbits for a spacecraft traveling in the
neighborhood of Deimos. The first task is to perform a numerical search to find and classify …
