1 Space robe and Relatie Motion of Orbiting Bodies Eugene I. Butiko Saint etersburg State Uniersity, Saint etersburg, Russia bstract. Seeral possibilities to launch a space probe from the orbital station are discussed and illustrated by computer simulations. The probe is to approach the surface of the planet to explore it from a low altitude, or inestigate far off regions of interplanetary space. fter the mission is fulfilled, the probe is to return to the orbital station and softly dock to it. Material is appropriate to physics teachers and undergraduate students studying classical mechanics and orbital motion. Key words: Keplerian orbits, conseration laws, Kepler s laws, period of reolution, characteristic elocity, soft docking. 1. Introduction: Keplerian Orbits Suitable for Space robes space probe is an automatic or manned module with scientific instruments that is launched from a station circularly orbiting the Earth or some other planet. The module is to approach the surface of the planet in order to explore it from a low altitude. Then the module, with the scientific information it has collected, is to return to the orbital station and gently dock to it. Or, as another assignment, the space probe is to fly by or orbit other planetary bodies, or inestigate far off regions of interplanetary space. In either case, its orbit must be chosen so that its rendezous with the station is possible after it has completed its mission. re such orbits possible? If so, how can they be realized? In such problems of space dynamics, the relatie motion of the orbiting bodies is important. We assume that the orbital station stays in a circular orbit around the planet. fter the space probe is undocked from the station and got almost instantly an additional elocity with the help of the rocket engine, its further passie motion around the planet occurs solely under the central force of graity along a new elliptical orbit. What requirements must this new orbit satisfy? If the probe is to inestigate the surface of the planet, its orbit must approach the planet as closely as possible. Consequently, the orbit must hae a low perigee (pericenter, for inestigating some other planet rather than the Earth), but must not intersect the surface (more precisely, the atmosphere) of the planet. Moreoer, the period of reolution along such an elliptical orbit must be related to the period of reolution of the orbital station along its circular orbit in such a way that the probe and station periodically meet one another. Such a
2 Space robe and Relatie Motion of Orbiting Bodies 2 rendezous can occur only at a common point of their orbits in case their periods of reolution are in the ratio of integers, preferably small. For example, if the period of reolution of the probe is 2/3 the period of the station, the station completes two reolutions while the probe completes three. Thus the two meet at the common point of their orbits eery two reolutions of the station after the departure of the probe. 2. eriod of Reolution along an Elliptical Orbit fter the probe is undocked from the station, it moes along almost the same circular orbit and with the same elocity as does the station. In order to launch the probe into a required elliptical orbit, we should impart to it some additional elocity by means of an on-board rocket engine. From the point of iew of rocket fuel expenditures, the most economical method of transition to a suitable orbit consists of imparting to the space probe an additional elocity tangent to its initial circular orbit. The new orbit lies in the same plane with the circular orbit of the station. If the additional elocity is directed opposite to the orbital elocity of the station, we get an inner elliptical orbit that grazes the circular orbit of the station only at the orbital position at which the rocket engine thrusts the probe backward. This point is the apogee of the orbit. Otherwise, if the additional elocity is directed along the orbital elocity of the station, the probe moes to an outer elliptical orbit. The initial point is the perigee of the new orbit (figure 1). For choosing a suitable orbit for the space probe, the crucial issue is the period of reolution. Next we calculate the additional (characteristic) elocity that must be imparted to the space probe after its undocking from the station in order to transfer the probe to the elliptical orbit with the required period of reolution. We can express this period for the elliptical orbit of the space probe through the length of its major axis with the help of Kepler s third law. Therefore first of all we should find the major axis for a gien alue of the additional elocity imparted to the probe by the rocket engine. = 0 circ r r circ Figure 1. Circular orbit of the station and elliptical orbit of the space probe.
3 Space robe and Relatie Motion of Orbiting Bodies 3 We assume for definiteness that the additional elocity is directed along the orbital elocity of the station, so that the initial elocity 0 of the probe at point is greater in magnitude than the circular elocity circ for the orbit of radius r 0 (orbit of the station): 0 > circ. In this case the initial point is the perigee of the new orbit (figure 1). In order to find the distance r between the center of force and the apogee, we can use the law of energy conseration and Kepler s second law or, equialently, the law of conseration of the angular momentum alid for an arbitrary motion in any central field (see, for example, [1] or [2]). t both the initial point and apogee (figure 1), the elocity ector is perpendicular to the radius ector r, and the magnitude of the ector product of the elocity and radius ectors at these points equals the product of magnitudes of and r (since the sine of the angle between and r equals 1): 0 r 0 = r, (1) where r 0 = r is the distance of the initial point from the center of the planet (see figure 1), and is the elocity at the apogee. The second equation that is necessary for determination of two unknown quantities and r is obtained by equating the alues of the total energy (per unit mass) at the initial point and at the apogee: GM = 2 r 0 2 GM. (2) r Here G is the graitational constant, M is the mass of the planet. Using equation (1), we then express the elocity at apogee in terms of the initial elocity 0 and the distances r 0 and r, and substitute it in the equation of the conseration of energy. Gathering the terms with 0 on the left-hand side of the equation, and moing the remaining terms to the right, we obtain: ( ) r2 0 = GM ( 1 r ) 0. (3) r 2 r 0 r We can find the unknown distance from the center of the planet to the apogee, r, by soling this quadratic equation. There is no need in reducing it to canonical form and using the standard formulas for the roots. Expressing the difference of squares in the left-hand side of the equation as the product of the corresponding sum and difference, we see at once that one of the roots is r = r 0. This root corresponds essentially to the initial point (to perigee). This irreleant root appears because the condition that we used for obtaining the equation, namely that the elocity ector be orthogonal to the radius ector, is satisfied also for the initial point (as well as for the apogee). In order to find the second root, the root that corresponds to the apogee, we diide both sides of the equation (3) by (1 r 0 /r ). Then for the distance r to the apogee of the orbit we obtain: r = r 0 2( circ / 0 ) 2 1. (4) Here we hae used the expression circ = GM/r 0 = gr 2 /r 0 for the circular elocity circ at the initial distance r 0 (here g = GM/R 2 is the acceleration of free fall near the surface of the Earth, R is the Earth s radius). The obtained expression is conenient for determination
4 Space robe and Relatie Motion of Orbiting Bodies 4 of parameters of the elliptical orbit in terms of the initial distance r 0 and the initial transerse elocity 0. For the semimajor axis a of the elliptical orbit (see figure 1) equation (4) yields the following expression: a = 1 2 (r 0 + r ) = r 0 1 (5) 2 1 0/(2 2 circ 2 ). This expression for the semimajor axis a is alid both for the case of an initial elocity greater than the circular elocity, 0 > circ, and the case 0 < circ. The latter case corresponds to the additional elocity imparted to the space probe in the direction against the orbital elocity of the station. In this case the entire elliptical orbit of the probe lies inside the circular orbit of the station. The starting point at which the probe is undocked from the station is the apogee of such an inner-grazing elliptical orbit. If the initial elocity equals the circular elocity, that is, if 0 = circ, equation (5) gies a = r 0, since the ellipse becomes a circle, and the semimajor axis coincides with the radius of the orbit. If 0 2 circ, that is, if the initial elocity approaches the escape elocity, equation (5) gies a : the ellipse is elongated without limit. If 0 0, equation (5) gies a r 0 /2: as the horizontal initial elocity becomes smaller and smaller, the elliptical orbit shrinks and degenerates into a straight segment connecting the initial point and the center of force. The foci of this degenerate, flattened ellipse are at the opposite ends of the segment. The eccentricity e of the elliptical orbit in terms of the transerse initial elocity 0, with the help of equation (4), is expressed as follows: e = r r 0 r + r 0 = circ 1. (6) Thus, if the additional elocity is directed tangentially to the circular orbit of the station, the semimajor axis a of the elliptical orbit of the probe is determined by equation (5). With the help of this equation, we can express the square of the planetocentric initial elocity 0 of the probe at the common point of the two orbits in terms of the semimajor axis a: ( 0 2 = circ 2 2 r ) 0. (7) a Next we can express in equation (7) the ratio r 0 /a in terms of the desired ratio of the period T 0 of the station to the period T of the space probe in its elliptical orbit with the semimajor axis a. We do this with the help of Kepler s third law: r 0 a = ( T0 T ) 2/3. (8) Hence, after the undocking, the space probe must hae the following planetocentric elocity: 0 = circ 2 (T 0 /T ) 2/3. (9) This expression allows us to calculate the additional tangential elocity required for the space probe with the desired period of reolution T.
5 Space robe and Relatie Motion of Orbiting Bodies 5 3. Space robes in Inner Orbits Let us consider seeral possible inner orbits suitable for the space probe. fter performing its mission, the space probe encounters the orbital station each time the station completes a reolution in case the period T of the probe s reolution equals T 0 /n, where T 0 is the period of the station, and n is an integer. Howeer, there is actually only one such possibility, namely, n = 2. Elliptical orbits with periods that equal T 0 /3, T 0 /4, T 0 /5,... do not exist. The reason is that the shortest possible period of reolution corresponds to the degenerate elliptical orbit with the minor axis of zero length (a straight-line ellipse with foci at the center of the planet and at the initial point, and with a major axis equal to the radius of the circular orbit of the station). ccording to Kepler s third law, this minimal period equals (1/2) 3/2 T T 0, a alue greater than T 0 /3. For the elliptical orbit with the period T = T 0 /2, the perigee distance r equals 0.26 r, where r is the apogee distance that equals the radius r 0 of the circular orbit of the station. Hence, the orbit can be realized only if the radius of the circular orbit is at least four times the radius of the planet. The characteristic elocity needed to transfer the space probe to this orbit from the initial circular orbit equals 0.36 circ, that is, 36% of the circular elocity circ. The formulas necessary for such calculations can be easily obtained on the basis of Kepler s laws and the law of energy conseration. The deriation of the formulas is gien in the preceding Section. Table 1 lists the alues of the initial elocity 0 of the space probe and the corresponding alues of the additional (characteristic) elocity = 0 circ for seeral inner elliptical orbits of the probe. (These elocities are expressed in units of the circular elocity 0 of the orbital station for conenience of usage in the simulations [3].) The alues in Table 1 are calculated with the help of expression (9). The perigee distance r = 2a r 0 for each of the orbits (in units of the radius r 0 of the station s circular orbit) is also listed. n orbit is possible if this distance is greater than the radius R of the planet. The difference r R is the minimal distance from the surface of the planet reached by the space probe. Table 1. Inner orbits of the space probe T 0 /T 0 / circ / circ r /r 0 2/ / / /
6 Space robe and Relatie Motion of Orbiting Bodies circ 1 2 Figure 2. Elliptical orbit of the space probe with the period 1/2 T 0 (left) and the trajectory of the space probe in the reference frame associated with the orbital station (right). The inner elliptical orbit of the space probe whose period T equals 1/2 of the station period T 0 is shown on the left panel of figure 2. In this case a backward characteristic elocity 1 of approximately circ is required (see Table 1). t point the space probe is undocked from the station, and the additional elocity 1 is imparted to it by an on-board rocket engine. s a result, elocity of the probe is reduced from the circular elocity circ to the alue 0 = circ required for the apogee of the desired elliptical trajectory with the period T 0 /2. During one reolution of the station the probe coers the elliptical orbit twice. The right panel of figure 2 shows the trajectory of this space probe in the rotating reference frame associated with the orbital station (more exactly, in the reference frame associated with the straight line joining the station and the center of the planet). The trajectories of the probe shown in figure 2 in the two frames of reference are generated with the help of one of the simulation programs of the software package lanets and Satellites [3]. The simulation program [3] allows one to watch on the computer screen the motion both of the orbital station and the space probe with respect to the planet, and to watch simultaneously the motion of the probe relatie to the station. The motion is displayed in some time scale, which we can ary for conenient obseration. Relatie to the orbital station, the probe after undocking first moes backward, in the direction of the additional elocity 1 (see the right panel of figure 2), but soon the probe descends toward the planet and oertakes the station. When the probe passes through perigee of its orbit for the first time, it occurs at point of the trajectory that it traces relatie to the station (see the right panel of figure 2) at minimal distance from the surface of the planet. t the perigee the distance r from the center of the planet equals approximately 0.26 r, where r is the apogee distance (that equals the radius r 0 of the circular orbit of the station). This means that such an orbit can be realized only if the radius of the circular orbit is at least four times the radius of the planet. fter passing through, the distance to the planet increases and reaches its maximal alue at the moment at which the probe passes again through the apogee of its orbit. On
7 Space robe and Relatie Motion of Orbiting Bodies 7 the trajectory of the relatie motion, this position of the probe is (see the right panel of figure 2). The station at this moment passes through the opposite point of its circular orbit. The probe occurs at the same minimal distance (point ) for the second time during the second reolution along its elliptical orbit, and then meets the station at point. To equalize its elocity with that of the station for the soft docking, another additional impulse 2 is required. Its magnitude is the same as that of 1, but its direction is opposite to 1, because we must increase the elocity of the probe and make it equal to the elocity circ of the station. 0 circ Figure 3. Elliptical orbit of the space probe with the period 2/3 T 0 (left) and the trajectory of the space probe in the reference frame associated with the orbital station (right). The elliptical orbit of the space probe whose period equals 2/3 of the station period is shown on the left panel of figure 3. In this case a backward characteristic elocity of approximately 0.17 circ is required (see Table 1). t point the space probe is undocked from the station and the additional elocity is imparted to it by an on-board rocket engine. t the perigee of the elliptical orbit the distance r from the center of the planet equals approximately 0.53 r 0 (see Table 1). Hence, the orbit is ideal for a space probe if the circular orbit of the station has a radius approximately twice the radius of the planet. The right panel of figure 3 shows the trajectory of this space probe in the rotating reference frame associated with the orbital station. For a while after the launch, the probe retrogrades in this frame in the direction of the additional elocity. Howeer, soon its trajectory turns first toward the planet and then forward the probe oertakes the station in its orbital motion. s a whole, the trajectory of the probe bends around the planet in the same sense as the orbit of the station, in spite of the opposite direction of the initial elocity. Near the apexes of the loops of the trajectory the motion becomes retrograde. (These apexes correspond to the instants at which the space probe passes through the apogee of its geocentric orbit.) Moing along this closed trajectory, the probe approaches the surface of the planet three times. (t these instants the probe passes through the perigee of its geocentric orbit.) To dock the space probe softly to the station after the oyage, we should quench the remaining relatie elocity (to equalize the geocentric elocities of the probe and the orbital station). This can be done by the same on-board rocket engine. The required additional
8 Space robe and Relatie Motion of Orbiting Bodies 8 impulse (the characteristic elocity of the maneuer) is just of the same magnitude as at the launch of the probe, but in the opposite direction: if at the launch the impulse is directed against the orbital elocity of the station, now at docking it is directed forward. 0 circ Figure 4. Elliptical orbit of the space probe with the period 3/4 T 0 (left) and the trajectory of the space probe in the reference frame associated with the orbital station (right). Figure 4 illustrates the motion of a space probe with the period of reolution T = 3/4 T 0. In this case the probe meets the station at the initial point after four reolutions around the planet. The station completes three reolutions during this time. The trajectory of motion of the probe relatie to the orbital station has four loops that correspond to the instants at which the probe passes through the apogee of its orbit. 4. Space robes in Outer Orbits If the additional elocity imparted to the probe after its undocking from the station is directed forward, tangentially to the orbit of the station, the resulting elliptical orbit encloses (circumscribes) the circular orbit of the station. The initial point at which the orbits graze one another is the perigee of the elliptical orbit. Such outer orbits of space probes with suitable periods of reolution may be used to inestigate the interplanetary space. Table 2 lists the alues of the initial elocity 0 of the space probe and the corresponding alues of the additional elocity = 0 circ for seeral outer elliptical orbits of the probe. The apogee distance r = 2a r 0 for each of the orbits (the greatest distance of the probe from the center of the planet) is also listed. Figure 5 shows such outer elliptical orbits with the periods 3/2 T 0 and 2T 0 (orbits 1 and 2, respectiely). The right side of the figure shows the relatie trajectories of the probe for these cases. t first the probe moes relatie to the station in the direction of the initial elocity, but ery soon its trajectory turns upward and then backward, and the motion becomes retrograde the probe lags behind the station. In this frame, the trajectory of the space probe bends around the planet in the sense opposite to the orbital motion of the station.

Elliptical orbits of the space probes with the periods 3/2 T 0 and 2T 0 (trajectories 1 and 2 respectiely, left panel), and the corresponding trajectories in the reference frame associated with the orbital station (right panel). For the orbit with the period T = 3/2 T 0, the additional elocity is approximately 0.11 circ, and the distance to apogee 1 (the maximal distance from the center of the planet) is 1.62 r 0 (r 0 is the radius of the circular orbit). The closed orbit of relatie motion (cure 1 in the right panel of figure 5) has two small loops, corresponding to the instants at which the probe passes through the perigee of its geocentric elliptical orbit. The whole closed path of the relatie motion corresponds to two reolutions of the probe along the geocentric elliptical orbit, coered during three periods of reolution of the station. The trajectory with the period T = 2T 0 requires the additional elocity = 0.17 circ, directed forward (see Table 2). The distance r to apogee 2 equals 2.17 r 0. The closed orbit of the relatie motion (cure 1 in figure 5) is coered during 2T 0, that is, during two periods of reolution of the station.
10 Space robe and Relatie Motion of Orbiting Bodies Space robe with a Radial dditional Velocity In order to inestigate both the surface of the planet and remote regions of the interplanetary space by the same space probe, we can use an elliptical orbit obtained by imparting to the probe a transerse additional impulse. If the additional elocity is imparted to the probe in the radial direction (ertically up or down), the period of reolution is always greater than the period of the orbital station. n example of such an orbit with the period of reolution T = 3/2 T 0 is shown in figure 6. t point B of the initial circular orbit, the probe is undocked from the station, and the on-board rocket engine imparts a downward additional elocity 1. The required magnitude of 1 (the characteristic elocity of the maneuer) can be calculated on the basis of Kepler s laws and the law of conseration of energy. 2 1 B 2 circ B 1 0 Figure 6. Elliptical orbit of a space probe with the period 3/2 T 0 (left) and the corresponding trajectory in the reference frame associated with the orbital station (right) in the case of a transerse additional impulse. pplying to this case the laws of the conseration of energy and angular momentum (Kepler s second law), and taking into account that a radial impulse of the rocket thrust does not change the angular momentum of the space probe, we can obtain the following expressions for the distances of the apogee and perigee of the elliptical orbit from the center of the planet: r = r 0 1 / circ ; r = r / circ. (10) Therefore, the semimajor axis of the elliptical orbit of the space probe depends on the magnitude of the transerse additional elocity as follows: a = 1 2 (r r 0 + r ) = 1 (/ c ). (11) 2 Suitable orbits for the space probe must hae certain periods of reolution. We can use Kepler s third law r 0 /a = (T 0 /T ) 2/3 to calculate the additional elocity that gies an orbit with the required period of reolution T. With the help of equation (11), we obtain ( ) ( ) 2/3 T0 = 1. (12) T circ
11 Space robe and Relatie Motion of Orbiting Bodies 11 For example, to obtain the orbit of the space probe with a period that is one-and-a-half periods of the orbital station (T 0 /T = 2/3), the required additional elocity calculated from equation (12) is circ. Such a probe returns to the station after eery two reolutions in its elliptical orbit. During this time the station makes three reolutions in its circular orbit, and they meet at the initial point B. Such an elliptical orbit is shown in figure 6.. To obtain the orbit with the period T = 3/2 T 0, a rather large characteristic elocity of circ is necessary. This alue is seeral times larger than the tangential additional elocity of 0.11 circ needed for the elliptical orbit of the same period and the same major axis. To dock softly the space probe to the station, another additional impulse from the rocket engine is required. To equalize the orbital elocities, an additional elocity of the same magnitude as at the launch must be imparted to the space probe ( 2 = 1, see figure 6), but now it should be directed radially upward. The relatie motion of the space probe in this case is shown in the right panel of figure 6. In the reference frame associated with the station, the space probe coers its conoluted closed path during three reolutions of the station around the planet. For T 0 /T = 4/5 equation (12) gies / circ = In this case the space probe and the station meet after eery four reolutions of the probe and fie reolutions of the orbital station. 6. To the Opposite Side of the Orbit Next we consider one more example of space maneuers. Imagine we need to launch a space ehicle from the orbital station into the same circular orbit as that of the station, but there is to be an angular distance of 180 between the ehicle and the station. In other words, they are to orbit in the same circle but at opposite ends of its diameter. How can this be done? The task cannot be soled by a single maneuer. The on-board rocket engine must be used at least twice. With two impulses we can transfer the space ehicle to the opposite point of the circular orbit using an intermediate elliptical orbit with the period of reolution, say, 3/2 T 0 or 3/4 T 0. In the first case, after undocking from the station, an additional elocity = 0.11 circ is imparted to the space ehicle in the direction of the orbital motion. During one reolution of the space ehicle along its elliptical orbit (see figure 7), the station coers exactly one and a half of its circular orbit. That is, the space ehicle reaches the common point of the two orbits (circular and elliptical) just at the moment when the station is at the diametrically opposite point of the circular orbit. In the relatie motion, shown in the right panel of figure 7, the space ehicle has coered one half of its closed path. t this moment, the excess of elocity of the space ehicle oer the alue circ is quenched by a second jet impulse, and the ehicle moes along the same circular orbit as the station but at the opposite side of the orbit. In the window of the simulation program [3] that displays the relatie motion, the space ehicle is stationary at the antipodal point. Clearly the second jet impulse must be of the same magnitude as the first one but opposite to the orbital elocity ( 2 = 1, see figure 7).
