EXTREMA: Ballistic capture sets at Mars over an Earth–Mars synodic period from January 1, 2030, to February 20, 2032

<p>EXTREMA (short for Engineering Extremely Rare Events in Astrodynamics for Deep-Space Missions in Autonomy) enables self-driving spacecraft, challenging the current paradigm under which spacecraft are piloted in the interplanetary space. Deep-space guidance, navigation, and control applied in a complex scenario is the subject of EXTREMA, which wants to engineer ballistic capture in a totally autonomous fashion. EXTREMA is erected on three pillars. Pillar 1 is on autonomous navigation. Pillar 2 involves autonomous guidance and control. Pillar 3 deals with autonomous ballistic capture, the focus of this work. The project has been awarded a European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant in 2019.</p> <p>In Pillar 3 it is investigated how a spacecraft can attain ballistic capture in autonomy. Ballistic capture is an event that occurs in extremely-rare occasions, and requires acquiring a proper state (position, velocity) far away from the target planet [1]. Massive numerical simulations are required to find the specific conditions that support capture [2]. On average, 1 out of 10,000 conditions explored by the algorithm grants capture [3]. The union of these points defines the capture set, which in turn is used to find the capture corridors: these are streams of orbits that can be targeted far away from the planet and that guarantee ballistic capture.</p> <p>The data set contains the initial conditions of weakly-stable, unstable, crash, moon-crash, and capture sets at Mars with initial epochs uniformly distributed from 01 JAN 2030 12:00:00.000 (UTC) to 20 FEB 2032 10:32:39.144 (UTC), covering a complete Earth&ndash;Mars synodic period of approximately 780 days. The grid of initial conditions is built to maximize the capture ratio for Mars (see Figure 10 in [3]). Initial conditions are propagated in high-fidelity. The equations of motion of the restricted n-body problem are considered. The gravitational attractions of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth (B*), Mars (central body), Jupiter (B), Saturn (B), Uranus (B), and Neptune (B) are taken into account. Additionally, solar radiation pressure, Mars&rsquo; non-spherical gravity, and relativistic corrections [4] (Schwarzschild solution, geodesic precession, and Lense-Thirring precession) are also included in the model.</p> <p>For additional information about the EXTREMA project visit the page <a href="http://extrema.polimi.it">extrema.polimi.it</a>.</p> <p><strong>References</strong><br> [1] F.

Ballistic capture sets at Mars using Differential Algebra with initial epoch December 9, 2023

<p>The data set is made of two items containing initial sub-domains of inconsistent, weakly-stable, unstable, crash, moon-crash, and capture sets at Mars [1]. They are compressed files that contain a classification of the sub-domains of the search-space defined&nbsp;and used to compute the consistency and quality criteria of the differential algebra mapping, as well as graphical representations of the search space. All initial sub-domains have initial epoch 09 DEC 2023 00:45:18.363 (UTC). The search space is built to maximize the capture ratio for Mars (see Figure 10 in [2]). Initial sub-domains are propagated in high-fidelity. The equations of motion of the restricted n-body problem including solar radiation pressure are considered. The first item contains a low-resolution mapping. The search space is divided 32 times along the radius of the periapsis and the argument of the periapsis. The maximum depth of the Automatic Domain Splitting algorithm is 9 splits [3]. The first item contains a high-resolution mapping. The search space is divided 128 times along the radius of the periapsis and the argument of the periapsis. The maximum depth of the Automatic Domain Splitting algorithm is 10 splits [3].</p> <p>The data set is associated to the following journal article:</p> <ul> <li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Article: Stable sets mapping with Taylor differential algebra with application to ballistic capture orbits around Mars</li> <li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Journal: Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy</li> <li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Authors: Thomas Caleb (corresponding author: thomas.caleb@student.isae-supaero.fr), Gianmario Merisio, Pierluigi di Lizia, and Francesco Topputo</li> <li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; DOI:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.doi.org/10.1007/s10569-022-10090-8">10.1007/s10569-022-10090-8</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>References</strong><br> [1] F.
