Ballistic Capture Approach and its Application to Martian Moons eXploration (MMX)

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

a) MMX: I adjusted the ballistic capture model and computed quasi-periodic orbits near Phobos. I investigated the orbit design and demonstrated that the baseline QSOs can be maintained with as low as 6.3 m/s a month. Impulsive transfers indicates budget ~100 m/s and ToF between 7 hr and 2 days.b) DESTINY+: I optimized the GTO-to-Moon spiral ascent and the interplanetary cruise to Phaethon under strict operational constraints. High-fidelitysolutions give robustness against programmatic and operational delays.a) EQUULEUS: I provided the end-to-end trajectory product, accounting for realistic high-fidelity models and operational constraints. I shed light to the solution structure for optimal lunar transfers, creating a database oftransfers compatible with the launch parameters.
