ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the entire range of problems associated with the parameter mapping into the B-plane for different types of trajectories. It shows that a wide range of orientation and navigational problems can be reduced to the solution of the system. The chapter analyzes the missions of automatic interplanetary stations "Mars", "Venera", "Vega", "Phobos", and "Luna", and to control the flights of spacecrafts. The B-plane allows one to perform a comprehensive analysis of trajectories in the near-planetary part of the flight. The objective of the flyby trajectory is exclusively to form an interplanetary probe trajectory. The examination of possible trajectories and the choice of target point in the B-plane of the target planet or flyby planet are the second stages of the problem of designing spacecraft trajectories. Isolines method is efficient for analysis of both simple trajectories and complex (combined) flight schemes.
