Mars high orbit capture using manifolds in the Sun-Mars system
In this paper, based on previous work on transferring to periodic
orbits from Nakamiya et al. [25], Dei Tos et al. [28], and Smet et al.
[30], we further extend the periodic orbits and their associated
invariant manifolds to orbit capture in the Martian system. Different
from the research by Dei Tos et al. [28], we focus on using the
periodic orbit to find capture opportunities into Keplerian orbits
around Mars, especially the Mars high orbit, which has not been
paid attention to before. Instead of capturing the spacecraft directly
