Spin–Orbit Coupling of the Ellipsoidal Secondary in a Binary Asteroid System
In our solar system, spin–orbit coupling is a common phenomenon in binary asteroid systems, where the mutual orbits are no longer invariant due to exchange of angular momentum between translation and rotation.

Beyond Point Masses. II. Non-Keplerian Shape Effects Are Detectable in Several TNO Binaries
About 40 trans-Neptunian binaries (TNBs) have fully determined orbits with about 10 others being solved except for breaking the mirror ambiguity. Despite decades of study, almost all TNBs have only ever been analyzed with a model that assumes perfect ...

Detection of Close Kuiper Belt Binaries with HST WFC3
Binaries in the Kuiper Belt are common. Here we present our analysis of the Solar System Origins Legacy Survey (SSOLS) to show that using a point-spread function (PSF)-fitting method can roughly double the number of binaries identified in that data set ...

Nano and Micro satellites as the Pillar of the “New Space” Paradigm
Six decades after the launch of the first satellite in 1957, space business and space technologies are taking a new turn: From big to small, from primarily government to extensively private sector and from a few players to profusely many.
