Heteroclinic Orbits, Ballistic Capture and Optimal Control in Mission Design Professor Jerrold Marsden, Caltech, Control and Dynamical Systems Monday, January 17, 200011:00 AM to 12:00 PM Steele 102 We begin by developing parts of the homoclinic and heteroclinic structure in the planar circular restricted three body problem. In this framework we will discuss a number of issues, such as resonance transition of comets, the Genesis trajectory, ballistic capture of a spacecraft by the moon, and optimal control. (Based on work with Wang-Sang Koon, Martin Lo and Shane Ross). |
