Low-Thrust Station Keeping at Libration Point Orbits Using Jet Transport
摘要
This chapter is devoted to the application of JT to the development of a low-thrust station keeping strategies at libration point orbits. Two families of low-thrust station-keeping control procedures are derived based on the dynamical properties of the phase space near libration point orbits. The first family is obtained as the limit of impulsive maneuvers, and the second one by means of dynamically reshaping Floquet modes. In particular, JT technique allows to control laws to be explicitly written as polynomials in terms of the deviation between the state of the spacecraft and the one of a nominal point on the libration point orbit.
