Abstract

Cyclers as a Component of Mars Campaign Planning
Forthcoming

Quote

I’m excited to do SuperUROP because I get to dive into an area that’s really interesting to me. I’m researching cyclers (objects with orbital trajectories designed to encounter two or more celestial bodies at regular intervals) as part of a long-term strategy to bring humans to Mars. My project has a heavy astrodynamics focus which is great because I want to do work related to mission design and navigation.
