- Description
The aim of the study was to see whether saddle points in the Earth-Sun system can be used to perform ultra-low thrust transfers and as such achieve unique orbits in a propellant-saving way. This would result in lower fuel needs and the possibility to extend launch windows for several deep-space missions, for instance L1 missions or asteroid capture/orbit missions.
