Extension of highly elliptical Earth orbits using continuous low-thrust propulsion [PDF]
, 2013 The extension of highly elliptical orbits, with free selection of orbit period, using low thrust propulsion is investigated. These newly proposed orbits, termed Taranis orbits, are enabled by existing low-thrust propulsion technology, offering a ...

Survey of highly non-Keplerian orbits with low-thrust propulsion [PDF]
, 2011 Celestial mechanics has traditionally been concerned with orbital motion under the action of a conservative gravitational potential. In particular, the inverse square gravitational force due to the potential of a uniform, spherical mass leads to a family

Solar sail formation flying for deep-space remote sensing [PDF]
, 2009 In this paper we consider how 'near' term solar sails can be used in formation above the ecliptic plane to provide platforms for accurate and continuous remote sensing of the polar regions of the Earth.

Displaced geostationary orbits using hybrid low-thrust propulsion [PDF]
, 2010 In this paper, displaced geostationary orbits using hybrid low-thrust propulsion, a complementary combination of Solar Electric Propulsion (SEP) and solar sailing, are investigated to increase the capacity of the geostationary ring that is starting to ...

Analytical perturbation method for frozen orbits around the asteroid 433 Eros [PDF]
, 2012 In this paper a method for obtaining initial condition for frozen orbits around fast rotating, highly irregular bodies is presented. Such method is based on a general perturbative theory of motion, for inhomogeneous gravitational fields.

Remote Sensing, 2020 For low Earth orbiting satellites, non-gravitational forces cause one of the largest perturbing accelerations. During a precise orbit determination (POD), the accurate modeling of the satellite-body attitude and solar panel orientation is important since

Formation Satellite Reconstruction Strategy Based on NSGA-II Algorithm
Shanghai Jiaotong Daxue xuebao, 2021 Aimed at the problem of avoidance strategy of formation satellites when facing the threat of space debris, a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) is improved and used to code satellites. Besides, the improved differential evolution algorithm

Disposal orbits for GEO spacecraft: A method for evaluating the orbit height distributions resulting from implementing IADC guidelines [PDF]
, 2010 Geostationary orbit (GEO) is the most commercially valuable Earth orbit. The Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee (IADC) has produced guidelines to help protect this region from space debris.

Is This a Satellite Orbiting Unchartered Territory? [PDF]
Echo Research & Practice, 2020 A 27-year old female i.v. drug user presented to our institution with chest pain. She had a history of bicuspid aortic valve endocarditis with aortic root abscess repaired with bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement and pericardial patch reconstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract and non-coronary sinus 6 weeks previously.

Balanced Low Earth Satellite Orbits
Advances in Astronomy, 2020 The present work aims at constructing an atlas of the balanced Earth satellite orbits with respect to the secular and long periodic effects of Earth oblateness with the harmonics of the geopotential retained up to the 4th zonal harmonic.
