Mr Laurent Beauregard (ISAE-SUPAERO)08/11/2018, 11:3005: Interplanetary Flight and Non-Earth OrbitsOral presentation at the conference
The tentative position of the next habitable space station could be a southern L2 Near Rectilinear Halo Orbit (NRHO) of the Earth Moon System. To bring crew and cargo to the station, a safe and efficient rendezvous methodology has to be established. However, a significant body of work remains to be done on the design of the rendezvous procedure between halo orbits. Given fixed start and end...

The existence of families of solar-sail displaced libration point orbits in the Earth-Moon system has recently been demonstrated. These families originate from complementing the dynamics of the classical Earth-Moon circular restricted three-body problem with a solar-sail induced acceleration. The addition of this acceleration makes the problem non-autonomous, but by constraining the orbital...

Mr Eric JOFFRE (Airbus Defence and Space Ltd)08/11/2018, 12:3005: Interplanetary Flight and Non-Earth OrbitsOral presentation at the conference
Recent mission and system studies conducted for the European Space Agency have involved the design of transfers targeting Earth-trailing or Earth-leading heliocentric operational orbits, in a 1:1 resonance with Earth.

Airbus is currently leading two such studies on behalf of the European Space Agency: the Lagrange (Space Weather) mission targeting the Sun-Earth L5 Lagrange Point, and the LISA...
