Algoritmos computacionales para órbitas de transferencia

Abstract

The calculation of interplanetary trajectories is an active topic of research given the constant sending of probes to the different planets of our Solar System. In this sense, this project addresses the development and implementation of computational codes in the calculation of transfer paths for sending interplanetary probes, making use of Hohmann-type paths with gravitational assistance in intermediate steps. In this work, the orbital elements and the graphs for the trajectories of probes sent from the Earth to some planets of the Solar System, as well as other types of planetary systems are determined, corroborating the results with missions already carried out and obtaining adequate transfer paths for the planets under consideration for a set period. The results of this research acquire relevance since they will be useful for the scientific community interested in future interplanetary missions, including the different international space agencies.
