Abstract: | This paper investigates new families of displaced, highly non-Keplerian orbits in the two-body problem and artificial equilibria
in the circular restricted three-body problem. The families of orbits presented extend prior work by using periodic impulses
to generate displaced orbits rather than continuous thrust. The new displaced orbits comprise a sequence of individual Keplerian
arcs whose intersection is continuous in position, with discontinuities in velocity removed using impulses. For frequent impulses
the new families of orbits approximate continuous thrust non-Keplerian orbits found in previous studies. To generate approximations
to artificial equilibria in the circular restricted three-body problem, periodic impulses are used to generate a sequence
of connected three-body arcs which begin and terminate at a fixed position in the rotating frame of reference. Again, these
families of orbits reduce to the families of artificial equilibria found using continuous thrust. |
