Overview
- Provides an analytical approach for continuous low-thrust trajectory design
- Presents a general, two-maneuver transfer procedure from a libration point orbit in the Earth–Moon system to a lunar orbit
- Offers a detailed description of the relative motion of a charged spacecraft around a spacecraft with a magnetic field

Yu Cheng
Research topic: transfer trajectory design in the three-body problem; relative dynamics of a charged spacecraft under a magnetic field and the potential application in formation flying, stability analysis of the critical points and periodic orbits of the Hamiltonian system, and computation of invariant tori using parameterization method.
Jinglang Feng
Research topic: orbital dynamics around irregular gravitational field, e.g. contact binary asteroid systems, in terms of equilibrium points, periodic orbits and their stability, resonant dynamics, etc. Moreover, the perturbation of solar radiation pressure on the secular dynamics oforbital motion around asteroid are also investigated for mission analysis.
Chong Sun
Research topic: continuous low thrust trajectory design and optimization, including the solar sail low thrust trajectory design, the solar electrical propulsion low thrust trajectory design, and hybrid low thrust trajectory design and its application. For example, the near earth asteroid exploration, the period orbit mission in three body system.
