Trajectory Modeling and Cislunar Space Series
Cislunar missions have the potential to drive scientific progress, technological innovation, and economic growth, making them an important focus for space exploration in the coming years. Trajectory modeling in cislunar space will play an important role in the success of these missions. Avoiding collisions with other objects in space, optimizing fuel consumption, and ensuring that spacecraft arrive at their destinations on time and on course are just a few objectives of trajectory modeling.
Speakers:
Jim Woodburn, Ansys Fellow & Chief Orbital Scientist
Cody Short, Ansys Principal Astrodynamicist
Webinars
Multibody Cislunar Design: A Tour of Concepts (Part 1)
The trajectory and mission design process in cislunar space can benefit from multibody dynamical systems approaches. This two-part webinar will explore such concepts and discussion focused on the first Earth-Moon libration point mission, ARTEMIS (the follow-up to THEMIS), followed by introducing a rapid prototyping tool.
Multibody Cislunar Design: A Tour of Concepts (Part 2)
Join us for Part 2 of the Multibody Cislunar Design: A Tour of Concepts webinar, where we’ll review dynamical systems concepts, including fixed point solutions (i.e., libration/Lagrange points) and periodic orbits.
