Safe natural far Rendezvous approaches for Cislunar Near Rectilinear Halo Orbits in the Ephemeris model

Year: 2018

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: In the context of future Human Spaceflight exploration missions, Rendezvous and Docking (RVD) operational activities are mandatory and critical for the assembly and maintenance of cislunar structures. The scope of this research is to investigate the specifics of orbits of interest for RVD in the cislunar realm and to propose innovative strategies and trajectory designs to safely perform far rendezvous operations. With a focus on Near Rectilinear Halo Orbits (NRHO), this work investigates passively safe drift trajectories in the Ephemeris model in order to exhibit phasing orbit requirements to ensure safe far approach while admitting low-cost transfer capabilities.
