FAST RESONANCE SHIFTING AS A WAY TO REDUCE PROPELLANT FOR SPACE MISSION APPLICATIONS

WIPO Patent Application WO2000013971

B1

A method of changing at least one of an inclination and an altitude of a first object including at least one of a space vehicle, satellite and rocket, using a computer implemented and assisted process. The internal hardware of the computer for implementing the method comprises a data base (248) that serves as the main information highway interconnecting the other components of the computer. A central processing unit (250) performs calculations and logic operations required to execute the program, a read only memory (252) and a random access memory (254) constitute the main memory of the computer. A disc controller (256) interfaces with the data bus and display interface (264) interfaces with the display (240) and permits information from the data bus to be displayed on the display. The method includes the sequential or non-sequential steps of generating a first transfer for convergence of first target variables at a first target including at least one of a first planet, first planet orbit and first location in space, and travelling, by the first object, to a vicinity of the first target using the first transfer. The method also includes rendezvousing, by the first object, with a second object including undergoing a resonant hop or other resonant. The method also includes performing an inclination changed at the second object responsive to the second object undergoing the resonant hop and travelling from the second objet to a third object.
