1. 1. Lunar Gravity Assist for Electric Propulsion Satellite - For Moving Satellites to Build a Space Sunshade

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

   Author : Love Dickéus; [2022]
   Keywords : Geoengineering; Electric Propulsion; Gravity Assist; Lunar Gravity Assist;

   Abstract : One idea to stop the increasing threat of global warming is to build a space sunshade, made up of a constellation of satellites to reflect a portion of the sunlight. These satellites need to reach an equilibrium point where they can stay in orbit with minimal adjustments. READ MORE

3. 2. Simulation and Study of Gravity Assist Maneuvers

   University essay from KTH/Rymdteknik

   Author : Ignacio Santos; [2020]
   Keywords : B-Plane; Gravity assist maneuver; Interplanetary orbit transfer; Oberth effect; Periapsis; Simulation model; Space exploration; Trajectory planning.;

   Abstract : This thesis takes a closer look at the complex maneuver known as gravity assist, a popular method of interplanetary travel. The maneuver is used to gain or lose momentum by flying by planets, which induces a speed and direction change. READ MORE
