Discrete Mechanics and Optimal Control for Space Trajectory Design [PDF]
Space trajectory design is often achieved through a combination of dynamical systems theory and optimal control. The union of trajectory design techniques utilizing invariant manifolds of the planar circular restricted three-body problem and the optimal ...

Machine learning applied to asteroid dynamics [PDF]
Machine learning (ML) is the branch of computer science that studies computer algorithms that can learn from data. It is mainly divided into supervised learning, where the computer is presented with examples of entries, and the goal is to learn a general

Cylindrical Manifolds and Tube Dynamics in the Restricted Three-Body Problem [PDF]
Within the phase space of the planar circular restricted three-body problem, stable and unstable manifolds of periodic orbits with a S x R (cylindrical) geometry are shown to exist.

Nearly-integrable dissipative systems and celestial mechanics [PDF]
The influence of dissipative effects on classical dynamical models of Celestial Mechanics is of basic importance. We introduce the reader to the subject, giving classical examples found in the literature, like the standard map, the Hénon map, the ...

Quasi-periodic attractors in celestial mechanics [PDF]
We prove that KAM tori smoothly bifurcate into quasi-periodic attractors in dissipative mechanical models, provided external parameters are tuned with the frequency of the motion. An application to the dissipative spin-orbit model of celestial mechanics (

Hamiltonian stability of spin-orbit resonances in celestial mechanics [PDF]
The behaviour of 'resonances' in the spin-orbit coupling in celestial mechanics is investigated in a conservative setting. We consider a Hamiltonian nearly-integrable model describing an approximation of the spin-orbit interaction.
