Description 1 online resource
Contents Introduction -- Continuous low thrust trajectory design and optimization -- Transfer between liberation point orbits and lunar orbits in earth-moon system -- Lorentz force formation flying in the earth-moon system -- 1:1 ground-track resonance in a 4th degree and order gravitational field -- Orbital dynamics in the vicinity of contact binary asteroid systems
Summary The book focuses on the orbital dynamics and mission trajectory (transfer or target trajectory) design of low-energy flight in the context of modern astrodynamics. It investigates various topics that either offer new methods for solving classical problems or address emerging problems that have yet to be studied, including low-thrust transfer trajectory design using the virtual gravity field method; transfer in the three-body system using invariant manifolds; formation flying under space-borne artificial magnetic fields; and the orbital dynamics of highly irregular asteroids. It also features an extensive study of the orbital dynamics in the vicinity of contact binary asteroids, including the 1:1 ground-track resonance, the equilibrium points and their stability, and the third-order analytical solution of orbital motion in the vicinity of the non-collinear equilibrium point
