Advanced Mission Scenarios of the Three-Body Problem introduces one of the classical problems of celestial mechanics through the prism of the problems and challenges of modern astrodynamics. It examines current issues in modern astronautics related to the study and colonization of Mars, exploration of the Moon, space debris, and contactless space transportation technologies. Describing the... Read more

Biography

Vladimir S. Aslanov graduated from the Kuibyshev Aviation Institute (KuAI), Kuibyshev, USSR in 1972 as a specialty Aircraft Engineer, and he later received his PhD from KuAI in 1977. Between 1978-1982, Aslanov worked as an assistant professor in the KuAI. From 1989-2023, Prof. Aslanov was the head of the Department of Theoretical Mechanics of Samara State Aerospace University, Samara, Russia. Since 2023, Prof. Aslanov has been a professor of the Department of Theoretical Mechanics of Samara State Aerospace University, Samara, Russia and the professor of the Department of Mechatronics and theoretical mechanics of Moscow Aviation Institute (National Research University), Moscow, Russia. Prof. Aslanov’s scientific interests are classical mechanics, nonlinear oscillations and chaotic dynamics, mechanics of space flight, dynamics of gyrostats, dynamics of tethered satellite systems, and spacecraft stability. He has published more than 130 papers in international journals and for conference proceedings.
