Abstract

Low-cost, recurring architectures for space access are gaining momentum recently. This study presents the design of a Deep Space Orbit Transfer Vehicle (DS-OTV) in the Earth’s vicinity. Families of periodic and transfer orbits are computed and analyzed with the aid of stability-energy plots. Low-energy and impulsive transfer maneuvers are designed between the orbits by exploiting intersection of the stable/unstable manifolds. Resonant orbits are generated on the basis of maximizing rendezvous opportunities between the spacecraft and the creation of orbital chains that allow for a flexible architecture. Finally, an estimation of the feasibility of the mission is carried out.
