Navigating to small-bodies using small satellites
2018 IEEE/ION Position, Location and Navigation Symposium (PLANS), 2018Small-satellites are emerging as low-cost tools for performing science and exploration in deep space. These new class of space systems exploit the latest advances and miniaturization of electronics, computer hardware, sensors, power systems and ...

Analytical model of impact disruption of satellites and asteroids
Icarus, 2016Abstract A model of impact disruption of the bodies with sizes from the laboratory scale to that of an order of 100 km is developed. On the lowermost end of the target size the model is based on the numerous laboratory data related to the mass–velocity distribution of the impact produced fragments. On the minor-planets scale the model is supported by

The Formation of Asteroidal Satellites in Catastrophic Collisions
Icarus, 1996Abstract Numerical simulations of the initial stages of the expanding debris field resulting from the disruption of a parent asteroid show that the formation of co-orbiting fragments and even contact binaries is a natural outcome of catastrophic collisions between asteroids.

Analysis of the orbital motion of the asteroid Apophis’ satellite
Cosmic Research, 2017We have analyzed the orbital disturbed spacecraft motion near an asteroid. The equations of the asteroidocentric spacecraft motion have been used with regard to three perturbations from celestial bodies, the asteroid’s nonsphericity, and solar radiation pressure. It has been shown that the orbital parameters of the main spacecraft and a small satellite

A three-dimensional solution for the orbit of the asteroidal satellite of 22 Kalliope
Icarus, 2003Abstract We carried out new observations of the binary asteroid 22 Kalliope (S2/2001) with the Shane 3-m telescope of the Lick observatory in October and November 2001. With a FWHM (full width at half maximum) of 0″.2, Kalliope (apparent size of about 0″.15) was not resolved but it was possible to separate the secondary from its primary whose ...

A satellite-asteroid mystery and a possible early flux of scattered C-class asteroids
Icarus, 1987The C spectral class implied by the neutral spectra and low albedo of probably capture-originated satellites orbiting Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars is noted to contradict evidence that class-C objects are native only to the outer half of the asteroid belt.
