Regions of space in which multiple, simultaneous gravitational influences are present often
give rise to dynamically complex behavior. Thus, design and maintenance of trajectories in …

Since asteroids generally have relatively weak gravity fields, solar radiation pressure (SRP)
is a major perturbation for orbits in their vicinity, which under certain circumstances can be …

This work studies periodic solutions applicable, as an extended phase, to the JAXA asteroid
rendezvous mission Hayabusa 2 when it is close to target asteroid 1999 JU3. The motion of …

Orbital dynamics around small bodies are as varied as the shapes and dynamical states of
these bodies. While various classes of orbits have been analyzed in detail, the global …

Delta-V assisted periodic orbits are introduced as a new type of periodic orbit around small
bodies subject to strong solar radiation pressure. Delta-V assisted periodic orbits are made …

The focus of this paper is on the exploration of the aa and g g-g'g′ families of planar
symmetric periodic orbits around minor bodies under the effect of solar radiation pressure …

Abstract The Augmented Hill Three-Body problem is an extension of the classical Hill
problem that, among other applications, has been used to model the motion of a solar sail …

In the exploration of small bodies, the orbiting operation is very significant in terms of fuel
consumption and scientific observation of small bodies. Although the force field around a …

This paper proposes the use of highly non-Keplerian trajectories enabled by solar radiation
pressure and devices with variable area or reflectivity to map and characterize small …

In this paper we focus on a mission scenario of a solar sail close to an asteroid. We consider
the Augmented Hill Three Body problem as a model, where the asteroid is considered as a …
