The present work highlights recent research in space and celestial mechanics and offers a collection of original articles by experts in their respective fields. A main emphasis of this volume is dedicated to the design of space transfers with various modes of propulsion (solar sailing, low thrust) and a broad range of targets (between Libration points, rendezvous with temporarily captured near Earth objects). Additionally, it contains contributions on the dynamics of small vehicles operating near and on the surface of small solar system bodies as well as non integrability properties for the collinear 3 and 4 body problem. The targeted audience is broad including engineers, physicists and mathematicians whose research interests include celestial mechanics, astrodynamics and optimal control as applied to space transfers. It is suitable for experts, researchers, as well as graduates students interested in the fields described above.
