New trajectory method could make asteroid missions less computationally costly
A new paper described by Universe Today blends two spaceflight models to find more efficient paths to near-Earth asteroids while reducing computational demands.
Key Takeaways
- A new paper proposes a less computationally intensive way to plan asteroid trajectories.
- The method blends Earth-Sun three-body dynamics near Earth with a two-body model farther out.
