CNES - Inria - UMB

“Poussée faible et moyennation”.

CNES number: 130777/00.

This three year contract started in 2014. It involves CNES and McTAO (both the Inria and the Université de Bourgogne parts). It concerns averaging techniques in orbit transfers around the earth while taking into acount many perturbation of the main force (gravity for the earth considered as circular). The objective is to validate numerically and theoretically the approximations made by using averaging, and to propose methods that refine the approximation.
