Abstract
The role of the dynamical models plays in the ballistic capture orbits is analyzed. The ballistic capture problem has been studied in the planar restricted three- and four-body problems among the previous works. This paper extends it to the spatial space and the real gravitational field in the solar system. Three dynamical models, including CR3BP, ER3BP, and ephemeris, are introduced to study the influence of these models. The spatial stability is defined by a semi-plane in an inertial frame. The initial conditions are itemized into four types: stable, unstable, crash, and acrobatic. The ballistic capture orbits are generated around the Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, where the major gravities root from the sun and the planets themselves. The ballistic capture transfers are analyzed in the planar and spatial conditions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
