Hybrid low-thrust transfers to eight-shaped orbits for polar observation [PDF]

, 2012
In this paper, transfers from low Earth orbit (LEO) to so-called eight-shaped orbits at the collinear libration points in the circular restricted three-body problem are investigated.

E-Sail Three-Dimensional Interplanetary Transfer with Fixed Pitch Angle

Applied Sciences
The electric solar wind sail (E-sail) is a propellantless propulsion system concept based on the use of a system of very long and thin conducting tethers, which create an artificial electric field that is able to deflect the solar-wind-charged particles ...

The Peregrine Ion Trap Mass Spectrometer (PITMS): Results from a CLPS-delivered Mass Spectrometer

The Planetary Science Journal
The Peregrine Ion Trap Mass Spectrometer (PITMS) was a mass spectrometer designed to measure lunar gases. PITMS flew on the first flight of Astrobotic’s Peregrine lander via the Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program in 2024 January.
