Abstract: This paper analyzes the dynamical evolution of satellites formed by two masses connected by a cable—tethered satellites. We derive the Lagrangian equations of motion in the neighborhood of the collinear equilibrium points, especially for the… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract The stable near rectilinear halo orbits (NRHOs) and distant retrograde orbits (DROs) are both considered as potential parking orbits for cis-lunar stations. Transfer orbits between NRHOs and DROs can promote the exploitation of their… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Lunar impact crater chronologies have been developed by combining carefully measured crater densities of lunar terrains with radiometric ages provided by returned samples. However, due to the sparse coverage of the samples during the… read more here.

Abstract: Meteoroid bombardment of the Earth-Moon system must have caused catastrophic damage to the terrestrial ecosphere. However, ancient meteoroid impacts and their relations to environmental changes are not well understood because of erosion and/or resurfacing processes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2120682119
Abstract: The most widely accepted scenario for the formation of the Earth–Moon system involves a dramatic impact between the proto-Earth and some other cosmic body. Many features of the present-day Earth–Moon system provide constraints on the… read more here.
