The design of interplanetary trajectories based on patched circular
restricted three body models is gradually becoming a valuable
alternative to the classical patched conic approach. The main advantage
offered by such a model is the possibility to exploit the manifold
dynamics to move naturally far from or toward a body. Generally,
propulsive maneu...
During the last decades the scientific interest for Near Earth Asteroids (NEAs), rocky or metallic bodies orbiting in heliocentric trajectories passing closely or intersecting Earth's orbit, has relevantly increased. The reasons behind this interest are not just of pure scientific nature for their status as remnant debris from the Solar System form...
On February 2012 the small European space transportation system Vega successfully lifted off for its maiden flight from the Kourou spaceport. Vega was specifically developed for placing small-weight satellites into low Earth orbits from the European spaceport. This study aims at designing minimum-time low-thrust transfer solutions from the referenc...
The whole spacecraft population is nowadays composed at least for one quarter of small objects below 500 kg. In general the international debris mitigation guidelines apply also to these objects and their deorbiting within 25 years after the mission completion is required.
In this paper a set of deorbiting methods is compared with the aim of identi...
In this study we propose and analyse a mission scenario based on Electric Pro-pulsion systems to accomplish space missions toward libration periodic orbits. The aim is to investigate about the feasibility, advantages and drawbacks deriv-ing from utilizing an Electric Propulsion system in the context of the Circular Restricted Three Body Model. A co...
