Analytical and Numerical Analysis of Static Coulomb Formations
… open-loop charges necessary to maintain a Hill-frame-static formation are determined for the cases of linear two- and three-spacecraft formations and for the case of equilateral triangular formations with spacecraft of equal mass. In addition, analysis is provided for the N-craft case so …

The origin and evolution of Transneptunian binaries
… a spherical, rotating cloud of particles, in the Hill frame, collapsing under its own gravity with inelastic merging collisions. A fast, accurate, rotating reference frame integrator was used and the robustness of collision detection in all simulations was tested. We perform a deep search for …

Optimal pursuit/evasion spacecraft trajectories in the hill reference frame
… this work, the minimax problem is solved in the Hill-Clohessy-Wiltshire (HCW) reference frame with Earth as the central body and each spacecraft uses continuous low-thrust propulsion. The thrust-pointing direction is the control for each spacecraft. Each vehicle has a finite specific impulse and …
