No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2018-10-01; The goal of the present paper is to search and study mid-range planar orbits for a spacecraft traveling near Phobos. The first step is to make a numerical search and classification of natural orbits based in the concept of “Quasi Satellite Orbits” (QSO). The effects of the eccentricity of Phobos and the...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2013-01-01; A Swing-By maneuver occurs when a satellite approaches a celestial body to gain or lose energy from its gravitational field. The present work studies Swing-By maneuvers that are combined with the use of an impulsive thrust in different directions during the passage of the spacecraft by the periapsis of ...

The goal is to study the motion of a planet (m1) around a star (m0) that is perturbed by a third-body (m2) (a planet or a brown dwarf star). The gravitational potential is developed in closed form up to the fourth order. Taking into account th...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2018-01-01; The present paper studies the dynamics of space elevators constructed in double asteroids of the solar system, assuming an irregular shape for both bodies. To make this task, a tether is attached to the surface of one of the asteroids, with a spacecraft attached in the other end. The analysis of the equ...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2018-01-01; Several new applications of space tethers to maneuver spacecrafts have been suggested recently. Some of them are combinations with the sling shot effect used in several interplanetary missions. In one type of this family of applications, the tether is attached to an asteroid to make a rotation of the sp...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-01-01; The present paper surveys the more recent techniques related to the swing-by maneuver, where a spacecraft changes its energy and angular momentum by passing close to celestial bodies. It is focused on the literature related to extensions of this maneuver, with emphasis in the powered version, where an i...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-01-01; The orbital dynamics of a spacecraft orbiting around irregular small celestial bodies is a challenging problem. Difficulties to model the gravity field of these bodies arise from the poor knowledge of the exact shape as observed from the Earth. In order to understand the complex dynamical environment in...
