Adaptive Methods of the Flybys Constructing in the Jovian System with the Orbiter Insertion Around the Galilean Moon

Abstract

We consider space expeditions with a long-term spacecraft stay near the studied celestial body (artificial satellites of small bodies of the Solar System), or expeditions with a possible spacecraft landing on the surface of the celestial body (for example, the ESA Jovian Icy Moon Explorer JUICE mission, and the Russian prospective project Laplace‑P). An effective formalism is proposed for creating adaptive search scenarios for low-cost combined spacecraft trajectories, focused on the possibility of using high-performance computing resources of the computer experimentation. Examples are given of the implementation of this formalism for searching for combinations of interlunar gravitational maneuvers in the Jovian system with the aim of entering the orbit of the Jovian moon’s artificial satellite.
