Moon mission lifetime analysis of a 2U CubeSat equipped with pulsed plasma thrusters: The Aoba-VELOX IV mission case
free download
Recent advances in low-power propulsion systems potentiate CubeSats orbit control capabilities for the extension of their mission lifetime and increase of orbit maneuver range, in order to reach an optimal operational orbit. In this paper, we focus on the analysis of
Mission design applications in the Earth Moon system
free download
The proximity of the Moon to the Earth has made it an object of interest throughout human existence. From early astronomers who attempted to accurately observe the motion of the Moon , to Newton and other physicists and mathematicians who sought to explain it, there

In this paper, we investigate the low-energy escape trajectory design for a mission called Martian Moons eXplorer to achieve the worlds first sample return from Martian moon . The hybrid usage of chemical and electric propulsion with combination of the three-body and two
Five day mission plan to investigate the geology of the Marius Hills region of the Moon
free download
High-resolution Orbiter photographs of the Marius Hills region of the Moon reveal a complex of apparent constructional features that are interpreted to be volcanic in origin. In common with features and materials elsewhere on the Moon , the inferred volcanic features appear to
Trajectory Design from the Earth to the Moon using the Multi-objective Optimization for DESTINY Mission
free download
Multi-objective evolutionary computation (MOEC) is applied to the mission design for DESTINY mission , whose spacecraft will go to the moon by the ion engine from the large ellipse orbit around the Earth. This approach revealed some important design knowledge
Hybrid Propulsion for a Moon Sample Return Mission
free download
ABSTRACT A hybrid propulsion mission to the Moon with the goal of sample return is designed and analysed based on the knowledge gained with hybrid propulsion at the University of Stuttgart and the DLR Lampoldshausen. Advantages and disadvantages areWashington. Next Tuesday (25 January) will see the launch from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, of the first US mission to the Moon for 20 years. After spending several months photographing the lunar surface, the spacecraft, known as Clementine, will fly back
