A first-order perturbation theory exists for the flyby problem with the Born approximation as the reference orbit.
none given - From Synopsis & Objectives: JPL has analyzed and developed for SDIO a preliminary mission design for a deep space mission to flyby two near Earth asteroids, Eros and Toutatis.
This paper describes the Casini orbit determination effort from injection through the first Venus flyby. Emphasis is placed on orbit determination modeling and the resulting orbit solutions.
Scientific exploration of Venus using an atmospheric probe requires relaying telemetry to Earth as the probe descends through the atmosphere to the surface of Venus. Using the flyby spacecraft to relay the probe telemetry to Earth will require precise carrier-to-probe pointing accuracy of the relay spacecraft’s antenna. NASA’s Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging (DAVINCI) mission uses this carrier-to-probe relay technique. Although DAVINCI includes a coherent cross-link for science, this is not baselined for navigation tracking. This paper explores the potential effectiveness of cross-link tracking for reducing trajectory uncertainty and improving spacecraft-to-probe pointing.
