Influence of the resonance in a gravity-gradient stabilized satellite
(1989-09-01)
Using Hamiltonian formalism the translational-rotational motion of a satellite is studied near a resonance considering the orbital and rotational motions. A first order perturbation theory is derived by Hori's transformation ...
Attitude stability of artificial satellites subject to gravity gradient torque
(Springer, 2009-08-01)
The stability of the rotational motion of artificial satellites is analyzed considering perturbations due to the gravity gradient torque, using a canonical formulation, and Andoyer's variables to describe the rotational ...
Dynamics of rotation of super-Earths
(2013-08-01)
We numerically investigate the dynamics of rotation of several close-in terrestrial exoplanet candidates. In our model, the rotation of the planet is disturbed by the torque of the central star due to the asymmetric ...
Dynamics of two satellites in the 2/1 Mean-Motion resonance: application to the case of Enceladus and Dione
(Springer, 2007-05-01)
The dynamics of a pair of satellites similar to Enceladus-Dione is investigated with a two-degrees-of-freedom model written in the domain of the planar general three-body problem. Using surfaces of section and spectral ...
Dynamics of Enceladus and Dione inside the 2:1 mean-motion resonance under tidal dissipation
(Springer, 2008-12-01)
In a previous work (Callegari and Yokoyama, Celest. Mech. Dyn. Astr. 98:5-30, 2007), the main features of the motion of the pair Enceladus-Dione were analyzed in the frozen regime, i.e., without considering the tidal ...
Three-body problem, its Lagrangian points and how to exploit them using an alternative transfer to L4 and L5
(Springer, 2012-10-01)
An alternative transfer strategy to send spacecraft to stable orbits around the Lagrangian equilibrium points L4 and L5 based in trajectories derived from the periodic orbits around L1 is presented in this work. The ...
Dynamical capture in the Pluto-Charon system
(Springer, 2012-12-01)
This paper explores the possibility that the progenitors of the small satellites of Pluto got captured in the Pluto-Charon system from the massive heliocentric planetesimal disk in which Pluto was originally embedded into. ...
Strategies for plane change of Earth orbits using lunar gravity and derived trajectories of family G
(Springer, 2009-04-01)
The dynamics of the circular restricted three-body Earth-Moon-particle problem predicts the existence of the retrograde periodic orbits around the Lagrangian equilibrium point L1. Such orbits belong to the so-called family ...
