Multiscale Astrodynamical Analysis for Improved xGEO Cislunar SDA
Abstract
The nonlinear astrodynamics beyond the geosynchronous belt (xGEO), encompassing secular, resonant, chaotic, close encounter, and manifold dynamics, is dramatically different than the weakly perturbed Keplerian approach used for over a half century for the detection and tracking of objects near Earth. We will uncover the foundational dynamics in the entire xGEO regime, including lunar mean motion and secular resonances, which have hitherto not been rigorously investigated, to holistically improve cislunar space domain awareness (SDA) capabilities beyond the traditional geocentric domains.
