Tethered slingshot maneuver in the three-dimensional space
(2018-01-01)
The Tethered Slingshot maneuver (TSSM) is an alternative solution to maneuver a spacecraft in space, which is based in the use of cables. A space tether usually consists in two fixed objects at the end of a cable. In this ...
Analytical study of the powered Swing-By maneuver for elliptical systems and analysis of its efficiency
(2018-07-01)
Analytical equations describing the velocity and energy variation of a spacecraft in a Powered Swing-By maneuver in an elliptic system are presented. The spacecraft motion is limited to the orbital plane of the primaries. ...
Removing energy from a spacecraft using tethers
(2019-01-01)
For a mission whose focus is the capture of the spacecraft by the main body or a close approach for observation, removing energy from a spacecraft can be an important maneuver. An option is the Tethered Slingshot Maneuver ...
Building an “Escape Portal” with Tethers Fixed in Asteroids
(2018-09-15)
The main idea of this paper is to propose the construction of an “Escape Portal” to send a spacecraft to the exterior planets, or even to make it escape from the Solar System, using a Tethered Sling Shot Maneuver (TSSM) ...
A mathematical study of the tethered slingshot maneuver using the elliptic restricted problem
(2020-11-01)
The main objective of the present paper is to find the modifications that a tethered slingshot maneuver (TSSM) can make in the orbit of a spacecraft, both in terms of energy and inclination. The TSSM is a maneuver where a ...
Planar powered Swing-By maneuvers to brake a spacecraft
(Springer, 2018-12-01)
The Swing-By maneuver is a technique used in many space mission to modify the trajectory of a spacecraft. The most usual goal is to increase the energy of the spacecraft, but it is also possible to reduce this energy. An ...
Effects of the eccentricity of the primaries in powered Swing-By maneuvers
(2017-04-15)
The present paper studies the powered Swing-By maneuver when performed in an elliptical system of primaries. It means that there is a spacecraft travelling in a system governed by the gravity fields of two bodies that are ...
Effects of the Eccentricity of a Perturbing Third Body on the Orbital Correction Maneuvers of a Spacecraft
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014-01-01)
The fuel consumption required by the orbital maneuvers when correcting perturbations on the orbit of a spacecraft due to a perturbing body was estimated. The main goals are the measurement of the influence of the eccentricity ...
Analytical study of the swing-by maneuver in an elliptical system
(2018-02-01)
The objective of the present paper is to derive a set of analytical equations that describe a swing-by maneuver realized in a system of primaries that are in elliptical orbits. The goal is to calculate the variations of ...
Determination of onboard coplanar orbital maneuvers with orbits determined using GPS
(2012-10-01)
In the present paper a study is made in order to find an algorithm that can calculate coplanar orbital maneuvers for an artificial satellite. The idea is to find a method that is fast enough to be combined with onboard ...
