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 …

Classically, space situational awareness (SSA) and space traffic management (STM) focus
on the near-Earth region, which is highly populated by satellites and space debris objects …

This paper presents the trajectory design for EQUilibriUm Lunar-Earth point 6U Spacecraft
(EQUULEUS), which aims to demonstrate orbit control capability of CubeSats in the cislunar …

A dynamical understanding of orbits in the Earth-Moon neighborhood that can sustain long-
term activities and trajectories that link locations of interest forms a critical foundation for the …

The Lunar Meteoroid Impacts Observer, or LUMIO, is a space mission concept awarded
winner of ESA's SysNova Competition “Lunar CubeSats for Exploration,” and as such it is …

In the near future, several space applications in the Earth-Moon system may require a
spacecraft to hold a stable motion, but the transfer trajectory infrastructure to access such …

Designing trajectories in dynamically complex environments is challenging and easily
becomes intractable. Recasting the problem may reduce the design time and offer global …

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 …

In this work, off-nominal trajectory design options for NASA's sail-based Solar Cruiser
mission are examined. A novel method for constructing bounded trajectories about a …

A method is proposed to generate an initial guess for impulsive trajectory design in the
circular restricted three-body problem. The method uses acceleration-based switching …
