Effects of Bank Angle During Powered Aerogravity-Assist Maneuver

In a swing-by maneuver, the variation of energy spacecraft is controlled by angle, velocity, and distance approach. These parameters are defined incoming trajectory, when far from planetary atmosphere. The passage atmosphere generates aerodynamic forces, affecting its trajectory giving new forms control, which functions attitude spacecraft. This maneuver called aerogravity-assist maneuver. control can change direction magnitude forces. Previous results showed influence lift-to-drag ratio effects application impulses in this However, variations due to that be given bank angle have not been studied before, study constitutes main aspect present paper. research, it implemented classical methodology calculate analyze maneuvers. analysis identify regions collisions as function alternatives available literature.
