The Three-Body Problem and Space Mission Design Tuesday, February 19, 2002 Control and Dynamical Systems, Caltech Beckman Institute Auditorium (Building 74, Room 134) View interactive Caltech map here.
The purpose of the one day meeting is to discuss contemporary issues concerning the three-body problem, transport of material in celestial mechanics, and space mission design, including: Low-energy mission concepts Formation flight Evolution of circumstellar dust Phase space structures controlling transport Since numerical techniques are essential in tackling such nonlinear problems, we will mention the numerical methods that are indispensible for this new approach, such as: Set theoretic methods Computation of periodic orbits and their invariant manifolds Differential correction and optimal control
