My latest article published in the Nonlinear Dynamics journal implements a multi-faceted methodology
that relies on Floquet theory, invariant center manifold reduction and normal forms simplification to analyze and control orbital motion in the vicinity of small irregular-shaped bodies. This research overcomes known analytical limitations and further obtains more accurate closed-form analytical solutions in a lucid and broadly applicable manner. The formulated approach is applied in the analysis and control of motion in the vicinity of asteroid 4179 Toutatis.
