Control System For Spacecraft Ballistic Trajectory
Abstract
Proposed system senses nongravitational accelerations and controls trajectory of spacecraft in close encounter with Sun or massive outer planets in order to perform relativistic and gravitational science experiments. Compensates for drag from solar-wind and for solar-radiation forces, and for any other nongravitational effects, with view toward making trajectory nearly ballistic as possible.
