Abstract

This paper investigates displaced periodic orbits at linear order in the circular restricted Earth-Moon system (CRTBP), where the third massless body utilizes a
hybrid of solar sail and a solar electric propulsion (SEP). A feedback linearization
control scheme is implemented to perform stabilization and trajectory tracking for
the nonlinear system. Attention is now directed to binary asteroid systems as an
application of the restricted problem. The idea of combining a solar sail with an
SEP auxiliary system to obtain a hybrid sail system is important especially due to
the challenges of performing complex trajectories.
