Precise near-earth navigation with GPS: A survey of techniques [PDF]
The tracking accuracy of the low earth orbiters (below about 3000 km altitude) can be brought below 10 cm with a variety of differential techniques that exploit the Global Positioning System (GPS). All of these techniques require a precisely known global

Incremental solution of LTMGA transfers transcribed with an advanced shaping approach [PDF]
, 2010 In the last decade the global optimisation of low-thrust multi-gravity assist transfers (LTMGA) has been tackled with different approaches. Some authors proposed to generate a first guess solution by building a multi-gravity assist transfer with ...

Orbiter-orbiter and orbiter-lander tracking using same-beam interferometry [PDF]
, 1992 Two spacecraft orbiting Mars will subtend a small angle as viewed from Earth. This angle will usually be smaller than the beam width of a single radio antenna. Thus the two spacecraft may be tracked simultaneously by a single Earth-based antenna.

Solving Coplanar Power-Limited Orbit Transfer Problem by Primer Vector Approximation Method
International Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2012 The coplanar orbit transfer problem has been an important topic in astrodynamics since the beginning of the space era. Though many approximate solutions for power-limited orbit transfer problem have been developed, most of them rely on simplifications of

Orbital Dynamics of an Oscillating Sail in the Earth-Moon System [PDF]
, 2017 The oscillating sail is a novel solar sail configuration where a triangular sail is released at a deflected angle with respect to the Sun-direction. As a result, the sail will conduct an undamped oscillating motion around the Sun-line due to the offset ...
