| Abstract | Various researchers have proposed the use of electrodynamic tethers for power generation and capture from interplanetary transfers. In this paper the effect of tether forces on periodic orbits in Jupiter-satellite systems are investigated. The restricted threebody problem model is perturbed and a series of simplifications allows development of a conservative system that retains the Jacobi integral. The modified equations of motion lead to new locations of equilibrium positions as tether length is changed. Modified families of Lyapunov orbits are generated as functions of tether size and Jacobi integral, leading to new resonant-like orbits atypical of unperturbed families. Zero velocity curves and stability analyses are used to evaluate the dynamical properties of tether-modified orbits and several stable orbits are identified. |
