Dynamics and control for continuous low-thrust spacecraft near collinear libration points
Chen Gao
Abstract:Due to the rich dynamic properties of the equilibria of the Restricted Three Body Problem (RTBP), the libration point orbits (LPOs) around them are ideal locations for scientific missions. Fortunately, these invariant dynamical objects persist when adding an appropriate low-thrust propulsion, which opens additional opportunities for observation or communication missions. Moreover, the low-thrust propulsion can help to achieve active orbit control which are of great importance for advanced space missions. Focus… Show more
