Emergent Low-Energy Earth–Mars Transfer Pathways from High-Resolution Multi-Physics Simulation
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study presents a large-ensemble orbital dynamics simulation revealing the emergence of low-energy transfer pathways between Earth and Mars under realistic multi-physics conditions. The model integrates N-body heliocentric gravity, solar-wind magnetohydrodynamics, radiation pressure, resonant field dynamics, nonlinear topological minimization, and small-scale fluctuation perturbations across 65,536 randomized trajectories. A consistent 55-node structural lattice was identified, organizing the solution space into coherent, repeatable, and energetically favorable transfer corridors. These structures demonstrate strong stability against solar-wind variability and resonance-driven perturbation, offering previously undocumented low-energy mission opportunities. Results highlight the potential of high-dimensional emergent modeling approaches to reveal interplanetary transport pathways not captured by classical analytical methods.
