1 What is the InterPlanetary Superhighway? Kathleen Howell Purdue University Lo and Ross

2 Trajectory Key Space Technology Mission-Enabling Technology Not All Technology is hardware!

3 The InterPlanetary Superhighway (IPS) Low Energy Orbits for Space Missions i InterPlanetary Superhighway a vast network of winding tunnels in space that connects the Sun, the planets, their moons, AND many other destinations Systematic mapping properly known as InterPlanetary Transport Network Simó, Gómez, Masdemont / Lo, Howell, Barden / Howell, Folta / Lo, Ross / Koon, Lo, Marsden, Ross / Marchand, Howell, Lo / Scheeres, Villac/.

4 Originates with Poincaré (1892) Applications to wide range of fields Different View of Problems in N-Bodies Much more than Kepler and Newton imagined Computationally challenging Poincaré ( ) NBP Mathematics is the art of giving the same name to different things Jules Henri Poincaré Play Wang 3BP 2BP New Era in Celestial Mechanics
