Investigation on Reachable Domain of Satellite with a Single Impulse

Abstract:

The paper investigates on the reachable domain of generated trjectories after an impulse with fixed magnitude and arbitrary direction applied at any point on the initial satellite orbit. By coalescing simulation analysis and geometric analysis, a method is given to determine the reachable domain of both initial circular and initial elliptic orbit. For generated elliptic trajectories, the present method is a general and feasible method to investigate the reach domain of satellite with single impulse.
