TSU has learned which areas near the moon are detrimental to satellite

2019-03-21

The scientists of the Department of Celestial Mechanics and Astrometry of the TSU Research Institute of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics has completed a project whose results are important for existing and planned space missions. In particular, the scientists have built a dynamic structure of the orbital space of the moon and identified a vast area in which the lifetime of the satellites is limited. In addition, the researchers obtained the data necessary for planning space missions to asteroids.

- Humanity is actively developing space. The number of missions sent to large and small objects of the solar system is increasing every year, - says Tatyana Bordovitsyna, head of the Department of Celestial Mechanics and Astrometry and professor in the Astronomy and Space Geodesy Department. - To increase the percentage of successful flights, we need fundamental data on dynamic processes in near-Earth and near-moon space.
