A key challenge in this expansion is understanding how to navigate and exploit the complex orbital dynamics that govern this region for effective mission design. Dr. Brian McCarthy of a.i. solutions\u00ae is at the forefront of tackling this challenge. Since completing his Ph.D. in astrodynamics, Dr. McCarthy has shaped the mission design for projects such as the lunar Gateway, the Orion crew vehicle, commercial lunar landers, and cislunar Space Situational Awareness (SSA) applications. His ongoing research is essential in advancing space technology and shaping the future of exploration in cislunar space.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. McCarthy\u2019s recent talk at the AAS\/AIAA Space Flight Mechanics meeting focused on sustainable operations in cislunar space to avoid collisions and manage congestion. Given the complicated dynamics in cislunar, coordination and path planning strategies must be carefully considered to ensure safety within this regime. To effectively and efficiently analyze these strategies, it is critical to use trusted software tools. Dr. McCarthy uses FreeFlyer\u00ae to design control strategies and simulate vehicle paths in cislunar space to inform his analysis. FreeFlyer provides the necessary functions, such as high-fidelity orbit propagation, maneuver optimization, and orbit determination for this complex cislunar regime.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TxyAGupHSTWDq1iNVMSA_VS_04_050125_DGTL_1-300x225.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" style=\"width: 120px; height: auto;\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TxyAGupHSTWDq1iNVMSA_VS_04_050125_DGTL_1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TxyAGupHSTWDq1iNVMSA_VS_04_050125_DGTL_1-800x599.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TxyAGupHSTWDq1iNVMSA_VS_04_050125_DGTL_1-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TxyAGupHSTWDq1iNVMSA_VS_04_050125_DGTL_1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\">\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"fs-5 mt-0\">Explore the April\/May 2025 Issue<\/h3>\n<p class=\"mb-0 fs-smaller text-balance\">Check out more from this issue and find your next story to read.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<button class=\"btn btn-primary\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"offcanvas\" data-bs-target=\"#offcanvasMENU\" aria-controls=\"offcanvasExample\" aria-label=\"button\" style=\"white-space: nowrap;\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tView More <i class=\"bi bi-arrow-right-circle\"><\/i><br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/button><\/p>\n<p>In addition to his work with cislunar traffic management, Dr. McCarthy works on trajectory design for the Artemis campaign. One key question is how to leverage cislunar dynamics to rapidly construct abort paths in the event of an anomaly during an Artemis mission. To design abort options, Dr. McCarthy leverages FreeFlyer to unlock insights into the design space and wrangle sensitive orbits. FreeFlyer provides features to assess the fundamental dynamics of the three-body problem and transition them into real-world designs.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. McCarthy and the a.i. solutions team possess a wealth of experience in designing, analyzing, and operating a wide array of missions to our closest celestial neighbor. Their work spans a diverse range of projects, including lunar landers, robotic orbiters, crewed vehicles, and cislunar SSA\/SDA missions. Driven by their expert insights and innovative approaches, they are able to provide cutting edge space mission design and analysis software solutions to the industry. Tools like FreeFlyer help to break new ground in deep space mission design and pave the way for increasingly ambitious space exploration missions.<\/p>\n<p>FreeFlyer is a Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) high-performance astrodynamics tool that handles mission planning and analysis across all orbit regimes \u2014 from low Earth orbit (LEO) to cislunar space and beyond. It provides a robust set of capabilities tailored for both routine satellite operations and cutting-edge space exploration efforts. With a heritage of over 250 satellite missions, customizable interfaces, and easy integration into modern ground system architectures, FreeFlyer supports the full lifecycle of your mission.<\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_3b1090471fff907526ba862b7a31bdbc_6a67cbe75bc38;googletag.cmd.push(function(){var AIMAP_29b58f13885ebf8ea6b032f958eb0748 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([992, 100], [[970, 90], [970, 250]]).addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_737ce075cc05dd766c8f8ea08f3faa73 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([1200, 100], [970, 250]).addSize([768, 100], [600, 300]).addSize([320, 100], [300, 250]).build();AIAD_3b1090471fff907526ba862b7a31bdbc_6a67cbe75bc38 = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/digital-issue-tech-focus-report', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1777400494768-0-6a67cbe75bc39').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());
