Satellite aided orbit captureThe paper surveys the developments leading to the use of satellites for orbit control. Previous satellite gravity assist work is analyzed, emphasizing powered and unpowered aided capture schemes. In addition, a parametric study characterizes potential gains of satellite aided capture for various satellite systems. Finally, potential applications of aided capture such as for the Galilean System and for Saturn and Titan are given.
