The present paper studies the lifetime of orbits around a moon that is in orbit around its mother planet. In the context of the inner restricted three-body problem, the dynamical model considered in the present study uses ...

The main goal of the present paper is to study the lifetime of orbits around moons that are in elliptic motion around their parent planet. The lifetime of the orbits is defined as the time the orbit stays in orbit around ...

Space missions intending to visit Europa, one of the famous Galilean's moons of Jupiter, are among the most important topics in space activities today. There is an increasing interest in the scientific community to send ...

Several missions that propose to explore systems of planetary moons will require high-inclined orbits for gravity and surface mapping. In this context, this work aims to perform a search for these orbits considering ...

A classical subject of research in celestial mechanics is the study of the motion of celestial bodies under the influence of non Keplerian gravitational fields. This type of research has become important in planning future ...

Aegaeon, Methone, Anthe and Pallene are four Saturnian small moons, discovered by the Cassini spacecraft. Although their orbital characterization has been carried on by a number of authors, their long-term evolution has ...

The design of scientific orbits for applications in space missions require a deep understanding about how the perturbations acting in the spacecraft will affect its dynamics. For such missions, the information about the ...

In this work, we explore regions around the two moons of the dwarf planet Haumea, Namaka and Hi'iaka, in order to provide options for a mission to this system. Using a model with the perturbation of the Sun, Namaka and ...

The stability of satellites in the solar system is affected by the so-called evection resonance. The moons of Saturn, in particular, exhibit a complex dynamical architecture in which co-orbital configurations occur, ...
