The JPL Three-Body Periodic Orbit Catalog contains precomputed periodic orbits from selected families in multiple three-body systems. Orbits are computed in the framework of the circular …

Jan 1, 2014 · In this investigation, planar and three-dimensional resonant orbits are analyzed and cataloged in the Earth–Moon system and the associated invariant manifold structures are …

Nov 27, 2018 · In this work, we examined the stable inclined configurations for the main MMRs, when the giant’s orbit is circular (3D-CRTBP) and when the giant’s orbit is elliptic (3D-ERTBP).

Mar 1, 2024 · In this study, we have proposed the design and analysis of two families of 3:1 and 3:2 resonant orbits (abbreviated as 3:1/3:2 resonant orbits) that can tour L3 – L5. A resonant …

Dec 5, 2022 · Here, a detailed survey is conducted via a broad grid search to find, characterize, and archive symmetric periodic orbits. The resulting database contains over 13 million planar …

The Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) spacecraft is currently in a highly elliptical orbit around Earth with a period near 3:1 resonance with the Moon. Its orbit is oriented so that apogee does …

Jun 17, 2022 · There are two ways to compute the resonant families of periodic orbits in the 3D-ERTBP model, one by bifurcating from the 3D-periodic families of the 3D-CRTBP model, and …

In this study, several methods for computing these unstable resonant orbits are explored including flyby maps, continuation from two-body models, and grid searches. Families of orbits are...

Resonant orbits have been widely employed in mission design for planetary flyby trajectories (JEO) and, more recently, as a source of long-term stability (IBEX). Yet, resonant orbits have …

Parker and Lo explore the use of unstable resonant orbits and their associated invariant manifolds to investigate mission scenarios near Earth involving periodic flybys of the Moon. 1 Anderson...
