“…The advantage of this approach is the high specific impulses of those thrusts, which can generate large increments of velocity with a small mass of fuel consumed. Good examples are shown in Lawden (1953), Lawden (1954), Sukhanov & Prado (2001), Casalino & Colasurdo (2007), Ozimek & Howell (2010), Zhang et al (2015), Carvalho et al (2016) and Fernandes & Carvalho (2018). A particularly interesting example is shown in Qi & Ruiter (2020).…”

The present paper surveys the more recent techniques related to the swingby maneuver, where a spacecraft changes its energy and angular momentum by passing close to celestial bodies. It is focused on the literature related to extensions of this maneuver, with emphasis in the powered version, where an impulse is applied to the spacecraft near the closest approach. Several mathematical models are considered, including the patched-conics approximation for analytical studies, and the restricted three-body problem for the numerical simulations. The main goal is to show the models and the main conclusions available in the literature for those maneuvers. Some key results are shown to discuss important aspects of this maneuver, including the analysis of the energy variation of the spacecraft, the behavior of the trajectories and other applications.

In this paper, author proposes an approach to approximate orbital dynamics in the model of a perturbed Two--Body problem, which leads to a system of equations with a closed-form solution. The approach is based on representing the components of the disturbing acceleration by Fourier series in eccentric longitude with constant coefficients, writing out the equations of the perturbed two-body problem in terms of modified equinoctial elements, and averaging the right-hand sides of the equations of motion over the mean longitude on one orbit. It is discovered that the influence of disturbing acceleration on the resulting averaged equations can be parameterized by a finite set of scalar parameters, which are the coefficients of the Fourier series. Solutions of the averaged equations are found in a closed form in case of orbits with low eccentricity.
