Abstract
The Quasi-Satellite Orbits (QSOs) around Phobos are the most practical orbits in Phobos exploration missions due to their stability. With the planar circular restricted three-body problem model, Poincaré's surface of section and KAM tori iterations are employed to investigate the periodic QSOs. Initial conditions of periodic QSOs with different energy are determined. A method to design transfer orbits from orbits around the Mars to periodic QSOs is proposed, which propagates orbits backward from injection points on QSOs with a ΔV to somewhere away from Phobos to complete a transfer. The fuel consumption and transfer time are optimized by changing transfer parameters. It is found that when the energy of the periodic quasi-satellite orbit is in a specific interval, a specific interval of impulsive velocity exists, in which the Phobos' gravity can be used for fuel saving, and a shorter transfer time can be achieved with a small impulsive velocity.
