doi:10.2514/1.G001510engTresaco Vidaller, EvaElipe, AntonioCarvalho, Jean Paulo S.Frozen orbits for a solar sail around MercuryART-2016-101004THIS Note provides a method for finding initial conditions for frozen orbits for a solar sail around Mercury. The use of propellantless propulsion systems like solar sails attracts the interest for scientific missions. Solar sails offer new challenging spacescience missions. They are considered for having artificial equilibrium points ; these displaced periodic orbits near libration points can be used, for example, as an alert of geomagnetic storms. They allow to achieve long residence times in orbit [6], and they also make feasible new observation missions based on the computation of geocentric sun-synchronous frozen orbits2016http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/13041110.2514/1.G001510http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/130411oai:zaguan.unizar.es:130411info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/ESP2013-44217-Rinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/CUD2013-15JOURNAL OF GUIDANCE CONTROL AND DYNAMICS 39, 7 (2016), 1657-1664All rights reservedhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
