Stable low-altitude polar orbits around Europa

Abstract: Abstract-In this paper, a search for low-altitude orbits around Europa is performed. An emphasis is given in frozen orbits. These orbits are used in the planning of aerospace activities to be conducted around this planetary satellite, with respect to the stability of orbits of artificial satellites. The study considers orbits of artificial satellites around Europa under the influence of the third-body perturbation (the gravitational attraction of Jupiter) and the polygenic perturbations. These last ones occur … Show more

“…Zhigang et al (2014) determined the initial conditions that minimize the variation of the orbital plane for nearly circular orbits with a semi-major axis 3-10 times the Earth's radius. Santos et al (2013) searched for frozen orbits through some missions around planetary satellites, like Jupiter's moons Europa and Icy, and studied their stability. Masoud et al (2018Masoud et al ( , 2019 discussed six control strategies to construct artificial frozen orbits and sun-synchronous orbits around the Earth.…”
