SINCE the late 1970s, libration points and bounded trajectories around them have become
of practical interest, allowing a number of convenient and useful properties Keplerian motion …

Analytical Mechanics of Space Systems by Hanspeter Schaub and John Junkins is a
comprehensive treatment of a stimulating and challenging subject that is both old and new …

Deep space missions are recently gaining increasing interest from space agencies and
industry, their maximum exponent being the establishment of a permanent station in cis …

A graphics-processing-units-accelerated indirect trajectory optimization methodology that
uses the multiple shooting method and continuation is developed using the CUDA platform …

In this paper, the use of north and south families of halo orbits, around the L 1 and L 2
collinear libration points of the Earth–Moon system, to realize a lunar global positioning …

The aim of the present work is to introduce an effective numerical method for solving two-
point nonlinear boundary value problems. The proposed iterative scheme, called the …

In this paper, we investigate the station-keeping strategy for translunar libration point orbits
(LPOs) using the continuous thrust in the ephemeris model. Ephemeris models with and …

This paper extends a linear quadratic regulator-based control scheme for station-keeping on
libration point orbits to enable continued tracking in the event of thruster failure. In the first …

A novel application of Modified Chebyshev Picard Iteration (MCPI) to differential correction is
presented. By leveraging the Chebyshev basis functions of MCPI, interpolation in 1 …

We describe a new method for numerical integration, dubbed bandlimited collocation
implicit Runge–Kutta (BLC-IRK), and compare its efficiency in propagating orbits to existing …
