“…The moons of the Jovian system, particularly Europa and Io, are among the most scientifically interesting of NASA's proposed exploration goals (Committee on Planetary Science 2011). Proposed missions range from mapping Jupiter's magnetic field (Campagnola and Kawakatsu 2012) to orbiters for Io (McEwen et al 2014;Esper et al 2003), and orbiters, landers, submersibles, and sample returns for Europa (Kloster et al 2011;Jonsson et al 2012;Powell et al 2005). The radiation environment of the Europa orbit of Jupiter includes a concentration of high-energy electrons and protons far above those encountered in any previously explored environments (Jun and Garrett 2005).…”

“…It is a paper presenting the basic celestial mechanics of the pure gravity assisted maneuver. A few books also mention this problem, but usually very quickly, like Ruppe (1967), Opik (1976 and Kaplan (1976).…”

The present paper surveys the more recent techniques related to the swingby maneuver, where a spacecraft changes its energy and angular momentum by passing close to celestial bodies. It is focused on the literature related to extensions of this maneuver, with emphasis in the powered version, where an impulse is applied to the spacecraft near the closest approach. Several mathematical models are considered, including the patched-conics approximation for analytical studies, and the restricted three-body problem for the numerical simulations. The main goal is to show the models and the main conclusions available in the literature for those maneuvers. Some key results are shown to discuss important aspects of this maneuver, including the analysis of the energy variation of the spacecraft, the behavior of the trajectories and other applications.

“…In the interplanetary low-energy transfers which is called Interplanetary Superhighway (IPS) (Lo, 2002;Finocchietti et al, 2012), transit orbits provide the low-energy way to enter into or escape from the vicinity of the secondary of three-body systems. In Jupiter icy moon exploration mission, transit orbits are used to realize the low-energy transfer between the Jupiter's icy moons (Campagnola et al, 2014;Kloster et al, 2011). Previous research also shows that meteorite may collide with the secondary of a three-body system through the transit orbit.…”
