Oral presentation at the conference

The preliminary design of interplanetary direct transfer trajectories is generally done using the patched conic technique. This design consists of hyperbolic excess velocity vectors at both the ends, say Earth and Mars. For an orbiter mission, a particular inclination and periapsis altitude of the approach hyperbola must be achieved. For a given departure date and a fixed flight duration,...

124. Tube Dynamics and Low Energy Trajectory from the Earth to the Moon in the Coupled Three-Body System

Oral presentation at the conference

We develop a low energy trajectory from the Earth to the Moon by extensively using the framework of tube dynamics. We assume that a spacecraft is under the influence of gravity of the Sun, the Earth as well as the Moon and also that the spacecraft and the planets move in the same plane. In this situation, we model the Sun-Earth-Moon-Spacecraft (S/C) 4 body system as a coupled PRC3B system with...

149. Efficient numerical propagation of planetary close encounters with regularized element methods

Oral presentation at the conference

In Solar System dynamics, a close encounter with a major body is the only natural phenomenon capable of modifying the orbital elements of a body on a very short timescale. If not properly taken into account during orbit propagation close encounters may heavily degrade the quality of a solution, or even completely compromise it. When numerically integrating the equations of motion of the body...

170. Coupling High Fidelity Body Modeling with Non-Keplerian Dynamics to Design AIM-MASCOT-2 Landing Trajectories on Didymos Binary Asteroid

Mr Fabio Ferrari (Politecnico di Milano)

15/03/2016, 17:00

15: Students

Oral presentation at the conference

The Asteroid Impact Mission (AIM) is a mission by ESA, planned to be the first to rendezvous with a binary asteroid. AIM mission objectives includes both scientific investigations and technological demonstrations. The mission is part of the Asteroid Impact & Deflection Assessment (AIDA), a joint cooperation between ESA and NASA, devoted to assess the effectiveness in deflecting the...

161. Simulation of autonomous landing near a plume source in a tiger stripe canyon on the south pole of Enceladus

Mr Konstantinos Konstantinidis (Universität der Bundeswehr München)

15: Students

Oral presentation at the conference

The Institute for Space Technology and Space Applications (ISTA) of Bundeswehr University Munich is investigating mission concepts for the in-situ astrobiological exploration of the icy moons of the outer solar system. A concept studied in the context of the DLR funded Enceladus Explorer project (EnEx) aimed to place a lander near one of the plume sources on the bottom of a “tiger stripe”...
