DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Antonio Fernando Bertachini (INPE - Instituto Nacion
 al de Pesquisas Espaciais (Brasil))\n\nThe lecture on astrodynamics\, titl
 ed "Orbital Mechanics of Lunar and Interplanetary Missions\," will address
  the importance of astrodynamics in space exploration\, showing the fundam
 ental role of orbital mechanics for the success of terrestrial\, lunar\, a
 nd interplanetary missions. We will begin with the fundamental concepts of
  orbital mechanics\, such as Kepler's Laws and their applications\, as wel
 l as the different types of orbits—elliptical\, circular\, and hyperboli
 c. Orbital maneuvers will also be discussed\, including Hohmann transfers 
 and orbital insertion maneuvers\, emphasizing the role of gravity in inter
 planetary navigation. Next\, we will provide an introduction to the object
 ives of the Artemis Mission\, which aims to return humans to the Moon and 
 establish a sustainable presence\, as well as pave the way for future miss
 ions to Mars. The interaction between the Artemis Mission and orbital mech
 anics will be a central focus\, emphasizing trajectory planning and the ch
 allenges faced during lunar orbit entry and exit.\n\nhttps://indico.lip.pt
