Open AccessSimulation of gravity field estimation of Phobos for Martian Moon eXploration (MMX)
We study the dynamic orbit about Phobos of the Martian Moon eXploration (MMX) spacecraft and simulate gravity field estimation using Doppler, image landmarks, and LIght Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) data based...

Open AccessSensitivity analysis of polar orbiter motion to lunar viscoelastic tidal deformation
We investigate the impact of viscoelastic tidal deformation of the Moon on the motion of a polar orbiter. The dissipative effects in the Moon’s interior, i.e., tidal phase lags, are modeled as Fourier series s...

Open AccessPlanetary polar explorer – the case for a next-generation remote sensing mission to low Mars orbit
We propose the exploration of polar areas on Mars by a next-generation orbiter mission. In particular, we aim at studying the seasonal and regional variations in snow-deposits, which – in combination with meas...
