Experiments with Julia for Astrodynamics Applications

open access: yes, 2015
Julia's potential for solving complex astrodynamics problems is studied. Julia is a high-level, new, dynamic programming language with performance approaching C/Fortran and has features like inbuilt parallelism, variable accuracy, integrated numerical ...

An optimal h6 scheme for solving TPBVP in astrodynamics

open access: yes, 2005
The present paper presents an accurate scheme for the solution of boundary value problems with two-point nonlinear boundary conditions. The proposed scheme is a linear multi-point method of sixth-order accuracy successfully used in uid dynamics and here ...

Mappings in Astrodynamics [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1992
We review mappings mainly devised for the study of the dynamics of comets and asteroids. An attempt of a typology according to the method used to devise the mapping and to its deterministic or stochastic character is made.

Improved shaping approach to the preliminary design of low-thrust trajectories

open access: yes, 2011
This paper presents a general framework for the development of shape-based approaches to low-thrust trajectory design. A novel shaping method, based on a three-dimensional description of the trajectory in spherical coordinates, is developed within this ...
