Dynamical modeling and characteristic analysis of orbits around a comet

He, Yuchen; Wang, Yue; Tian, Lin

As a frontier field of deep-space explorations, the study of comets is of great value to planetary scientific research, resource exploration, and planetary defense. To date, only the ESA's Rosetta spacecraft successfully orbited the comet 67P. The orbital dynamical environment around comets is more complex than that of other small bodies, making t…
