Significance of Specific Force Models in Two Applications: Solar Sails to Sun-Earth L4/L5 and GRAIL Data Analysis Suggesting Lava Tubes and Buried Craters on the Moon
In the trajectory design process, gravitational interaction between the bodies of interest plays a key role in developing the over-arching force model. However, non-gravitational forces, such as solar radiation pressure (SRP), can significantly influence the motion of a spacecraft. Incorporating …
