2 Outline Introduction Distant Satellite Orbits Quasi-Satellite Orbits around Phobos Phobos Mission Analysis Issues Future Work Simpósio Espaço, IST, 12 de Abril, 2011; Page: 2
3 Introduction Target: Phobos Mars 1st and largest Moon Orbital major axis a = 9377 km, with sidereal period T= 0.32 d Almost, but not exactly, circular equatorial orbit e = , i ~ 1º Small, m ~ 10 16, irregular shape Ellipsoidal shape with mean radius km; huge crater: Stickney Very small gravity at surface g ~ 10-3 m/s 2 Tidally locked to Mars Particularly interesting for a sample return mission Possibly a captured asteroid Studies of the minor bodies of the solar system Simpósio Espaço, IST, 12 de Abril, 2011; Page: 3
4 Missions to Phobos Past Missions Phobos 1 & 2 launched in 1988 by Soviet Union - Failed Future Missions Phobos Grunt - Sample Return Mission to Phobos To be launched in 2012? Future ESA mission? Challenges when approaching Phobos Phobos: small mass impossible to orbit it a keplerian way There is a need to orbit it somehow but not negligible orbit not Martian Irregular gravitational field Ephemeris not well known Simpósio Espaço, IST, 12 de Abril, 2011; Page: 4
5 Challenge: Force Field at Phobos and 3BP In the case of a larger body e.g. the Moon, there is no problem orbiting it The region of influence is sufficiently large to allow keplerian-type orbits, where the Earth is a small perturbation The Hill sphere, where the Lagrange points are located, is large enough Case of Moon Problems appear when the moon is smaller and smaller the Hill s problem, when the mass ratio of the primaries goes to zero in a certain way Hill s sphere Region of influence Simpósio Espaço, IST, 12 de Abril, 2011; Page: 5
6 Challenge: Force Field at Phobos and 3BP Ellipsoidal model of Phobos The thinnest axis is represented by the solid line Hill s sphere just above Phobos (outer dashed line) r H Ph 3 M 1/ km Region of influence below the surface (inner dashed line): usual orbits impossible r inf Ph 2/5 7.2 km But mass is not negligible... M How to orbit Phobos? Simpósio Espaço, IST, 12 de Abril, 2011; Page: 6
7 Equilibrium of Forces Delicate equilibrium of forces Mars and centrifugal force tend to cancel Gravitational field of Phobos plays a role Eccentricity is very important; cannot be discarded Phobos J2 and other higher order terms are important at small distances Orbit is not completely determined by Mars Simpósio Espaço, IST, 12 de Abril, 2011; Page: 7
8 Distant Satellite Orbits Families of distant orbits in the 3BP, stable or quasi-stable Tadpole orbits (elongated shapes around L 4,5 ) Horseshoe orbits (light blue) and Quasi-satellite (or quasi-synchronous) orbits (next slide) Simpósio Espaço, IST, 12 de Abril, 2011; Page: 8
9 Quasi-Satellite Orbits Relatively extensive literature about QSO orbits Root on a problem stated by Hill Studies in 1970 s in the 3BP context: Hénon (1969), Benest (1974,1976) Stability, movement of the guiding center, small values of μ, problem in 2D All figures from Benest (1976) Simpósio Espaço, IST, 12 de Abril, 2011; Page: 9
10 Quasi-Synchronous Orbits (QSO) Quasi-stable orbits around Phobos also called Quasi-Satellite Orbits Appear in the context of the 3BP, existing beyond the region of influence of the M 2 Motion is dominated by Mars gravity but the gravitational field of Phobos plays a role (quasi) stable orbits circumventing Phobos, observation and preparation for landing becomes possible Mars QSO in the synodic or LVLH ref. frame Simpósio Espaço, IST, 12 de Abril, 2011; Page: 10
11 Quasi-Synchronous Orbits (QSO) QSO and 2-body orbits (neglecting Phobos attraction) are not too different In reality Phobos has to be taken into account QSO must be used to address the problem QSO1 QSO are more stable due to the restoring force of Phobos Other QSO ex Simpósio Espaço, IST, 12 de Abril, 2011; Page: 11
12 QSO and Mars Orbits QSO are still orbits around Mars Almost indistinguishable from normal orbits How orbital elements vary? Simpósio Espaço, IST, 12 de Abril, 2011; Page: 12
13 Variation of Orbital Elements of QSO I Example - QSO1 and an orbit with no Phobos gravity but same initial conditions; differences between both are striking Simpósio Espaço, IST, 12 de Abril, 2011; Page: 13
14 Variation of Orbital Elements of QSO II Simpósio Espaço, IST, 12 de Abril, 2011; Page: 14
15 Variation of Orbital Elements of QSO III Orbital inclination and longitude of ascending node present practically no variation; the same is not true for Arg. Perimartem: Simpósio Espaço, IST, 12 de Abril, 2011; Page: 15
16 Historical Developments Henon, Benest (1970 s) identification of QSO in the context of the 3BP Kogan (1987,1990), others - First order perturbation methods and averaging techniques; Constants of motion of approximate equations Lidov & Vashkov yak (1993,1994) Lie perturbation method applied to the study of QSO (very complicated) Difficulties and Limitations (Lie method) Relative order of magnitude of the several parameters (µ, e, etc.) appearing in the problem is huge, making the theory of restrictive application in particular in the case of Phobos; higher order gravity terms not considered. Wiesel (1993) - 2D model including eccentricity, Mars oblateness, ellipsoidal model for Phobos, Zero eccentricity model as stepping stone to the more complex case from periodic orbits when e = 0 at any distance from Phobos to resonant orbits and non-periodic orbits in the e 0 case Floquet theory used after a periodic orbit has been found to determine the Poincaré exponents Numerical exploration of the phase space Simpósio Espaço, IST, 12 de Abril, 2011; Page: 16
17 Geometry description of QSOs Kogan (1987,1990); approximate solution in terms of parameters Ellipse with semi-axes a and 2a in the synodic x and y direction Guiding center Fig: 3D geometry of the problem, with its natural parameters (from Kogan, 1990) Simpósio Espaço, IST, 12 de Abril, 2011; Page: 17
18 Wiesel s approach 25 day integrations Assessment of mortality rate of quasi-orbits with successive longer integrations V y must be controlled to within a fraction of a m/s to establish stable orbits No assessment of V x in this work Stable points after 25d integration Resonant periodic orbits (e 0) Fig. from Wiesel, 1993 Simpósio Espaço, IST, 12 de Abril, 2011; Page: 18
19 Phobos Grunt Approach Tuchin et al, Akim et al, Planar elliptical 3BP, no J2 Case e = 0, μ = 0 used for insight and zero order solution Linearized equations for analytical simplified solution Const. of solution from const. Motion of model and initial conditions Phase space scan general behavior of QSO Chosen solutions checked against full numerical model Semi-numerical approach seems the best for solving practical problems Linear equations if ρ considered const. QSO classification scheme Other refs: de Broeck, 1989, Utashima, 1993, Broucke, 1999, Namouni, 1999 Simpósio Espaço, IST, 12 de Abril, 2011; Page: 19
20 Objectives Acquire capabilities and experience in QSO for the possibility of a future ESA sample return mission to Phobos Knowledge and experience in dealing with QSO Mission design capabilities in problems involving QSO; applications to Phobos and possibly other minor bodies Search for better method to describe QSOs (e.g. 3D case) and search for enough stable solutions for practical problems (e 0) First step: full numerical simulations of QSO around Phobos; assessment of how to search for (quasi-)stable solutions; mission design issues Simpósio Espaço, IST, 12 de Abril, 2011; Page: 20
21 2D QSO quasi-stable solutions Stable = stable for at least 30 days Easy to generate stable QSO Points at equal times in fig: QSO easily obtained in the x- y plane 127x72, 103x62, 61x44, 42x34, Demonstration 3D QSO (next slides): (x,y,z) = (0,-100,40) [km] (initial relative inclination with Phobos: 21.8º) (v x,v y,v z ) = (-20,0,10) [m/s] Simpósio Espaço, IST, 12 de Abril, 2011; Page: 21

26 Preliminary phase space exploration Assess and test the search for stable QSO; Point (x,y,z) = (0,-100,0) [km] seems much more forgiving than the x axis chosen by Wiesel Search for stable QSO varying the velocity components Start with a broad search and fine tune latter (v x,v y,v z ) = (10i,j,10k), i,j,k = -4,...,4 [m/s] a 1st broad exploration Starting point Simpósio Espaço, IST, 12 de Abril, 2011; Page: 26
