Trajectory design for the Genesis backup orbit and proposed extended mission

In September 2004, the Genesis spacecraft will return to Earth with its collection of solar wind samples. If for some reason there are any difficulties with returning the samples to Earth during the nominal entry sequence, a contingency plan is in place for a second chance at a successful recovery. This paper will detail the processes used to generate possible backup trajectories, and provide a comparison of the contingency options examined through the course of the study.

Extended mission technology demonstrations using the ASTERIA spacecraft

ASTERIA (Arcsecond Space Telescope Enabling Research In Astrophysics) is a CubeSat space telescope currently operating in low-Earth orbit. It is expected to remain in orbit at least through October 2019. Developed as a technology demonstration mission under the JPL Phaeton Program for training early-career engineers, ASTERIA has achieved sub-arcsecond pointing stability and milliKelvin thermal stability over 20-minute observations.
