Hyperbolic or ``saddle type'' stagnation points for two-dimensional, incompressible, steady flows are often of great significance in a flow because they tend to be the ``origin'' of qualitatively different fluid particle motions.
Numerical methods for locating hyperbolic trajectories that utilize the stretching and contraction properties to allow certain ``test regions'' to converge to the hyperbolic trajectory are not adequate for time-dependent velocity fields that are only known for a finite interval of time.
However, for our purposes, we would not call the hyperbolic trajectories in the Cantor set ``distinguished'' as the transport of trajectories through this Cantor set is governed by the lobe dynamics associated with the hyperbolic trajectory whose transversely intersecting stable and unstable manifolds give rise to the hyperbolic Cantor set.

In the hyperbolic case the Hartman-Grobman theorem gives the conditions for the existence of a continuous function that maps the neighborhood of the fixed point of the map to the linear map J · x.
Hyperbolic systems are precisely defined dynamical systems that exhibit the properties ascribed to chaotic systems.
In hyperbolic systems the tangent space perpendicular to a trajectory can be well separated into two parts: one with the points that converge towards the orbit (the stable manifold) and another of the points that diverge from the orbit (the unstable manifold).

 Probe Trajectory Modelling
Describing such a trajectory is inherently more complex than modelling the orbit of a spacecraft around the Earth, as the effects of the Earth, the Sun and the target body all have to be considered.
Indeed, initial modelling of the probe's trajectory showed that rather than trying to set up a particular transfer orbit (the usual case for interplanetary flights) the actual aim was to reach a specified point in space as quickly as possible.
This is in considerable contrast to most deep space trajectories, which are typically transfer orbits where the probe's position and velocity vectors relative to both the Earth and the target body very considerably over the course of the mission.

 Orbit equation   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Under standard assumptions, a body moving under the influence of a force, directed to a central body, with a magnitude inversely proportional to the square of the distance (such as gravity), has an orbit that is a conic section (i.e.
circular orbit, elliptic orbit, parabolic trajectory, hyperbolic trajectory) with the central body located at one of the two foci, or the focus (Kepler's first law).
If the conic section intersects the central body, then the actual trajectory can only be the part above the surface, but for that part the orbit equation and many related formulas still apply, as long as it is a freefall (situation of weightlessness).

Figure 2 shows the hyperbolic trajectory at the South pole and its associated rotating invariant manifolds [Lekien et al., 2005d].
Hyperbolic stretching near a boundary is best studied in terms of the existence of a separation profile emanating from the boundary [Sears and Telionis, 1975; Van Dommelen and Cowley, 1990].
For example, the uniqueness of trajectory and the continuity of the flow can be used to prove that only anti-cyclonic rings are involved in transport across a meandering jet [Lekien, 2003].

 gravity assist
Also known as the slingshot effect, an important spaceflight technique used successfully on a number of interplanetary missions, including Voyager, Galileo, and Cassini, whereby the gravitational field of a planet is used to increase the speed and alter the course of a spacecraft without the need to expend fuel.
One of the earliest, and most dramatic applications of the technique came in 1970 when the world watched as NASA used a lunar gravity-assist to rescue the Apollo 13 astronauts after an onboard explosion had severely damaged their spacecraft en route to the Moon.
By using a relatively small amount of fuel to put the spacecraft onto a suitable trajectory, NASA engineers and the astronauts were able to use the Moon’s gravity to turn the ship around and send it back home.

 LCS Tutorial: How the FTLE is used
However, let us just think of hyperbolic trajectories as ones about which there is a direction of expansion and a direction of compression.
Exponential separation between trajectories is to be expected, however if the domain of the system is compact, which is typically the case, these trajectories must mix together.
Heteroclinic trajectories are referred to as separatrices because they separate distinct regions in the flow.

 NPG - Abstract
While the notion of a hyperbolic trajectory is central to dynamical systems theory, much of the theoretical developments for Lagrangian transport proceed under the assumption that such a special hyperbolic trajectory exists.
This is not surprising since hyperbolicity is a "linearized" notion.
To extend the analytical formula to more general nonlinear time-dependent velocity fields, we develop a series of coordinate transforms including a type of linearization that is not typically used in dynamical systems theory.

Rosetta was placed into a hyperbolic liberation orbit - the first time an Ariane 5 has been used for this type of mission.
It was able to carry out the mission thanks to the delayed ignition capability of Ariane 5's storable propellant upper stage, allowing it to perform a 1 hour 46 minute ballistic "coast" phase that optimized the stage's performance to place Rosetta on the correct trajectory.

Under a small perturbation a separatrix loop can turn into a limit cycle (this is one of the basic types of bifurcation for flows on the plane; see [2], [3]).
2) In the multi-dimensional case separatrices (or separatrix manifolds) are most often stable or unstable manifolds of a hyperbolic equilibrium position or periodic trajectory (cf.
The formulations that have been suggested are fairly complicated (see [4]), and one should not expect a complete description of different types of separatrices and of the sets formed from them.

 Mars Trajectories
The difference between the transfer velocity at Earth and Earth's orbital velocity is hyperbolic excess velocity, which is the speed that must be attained by the spacecraft upon departure from Earth's sphere of influence.
After determining the lunar hyperbolic excess velocity and the speed necessary to overcome the lunar gravity, the DV for a launch from the moon can be calculated to be 3.25 km/s, which is even more advantageous than a launch from a parking orbit.
If the same trajectory were to be used on the return leg, the planets would align for the return transfer only twelve days after arrival; therefore, the whole mission would be only 152 days.

Filamentation, from the Lagrangian point of view, occurs when a stable manifold of a hyperbolic trajectory enters the vortex, and this can occur *without* a saddle point entering the vortex.
By looking at the hyperbolic trajectories and their stable and unstable manifolds, calculated from the numerically generated time evolving velocity field, we make several observations regarding the tripole.
When the stable manifolds fold and wrap around the areas of negative vorticity, thereby forming a barrier for their mixing, the flow is seen to develop a quasi-steady tripole.

This paper explores what cyclic trajectories are possible within the limits of known laws of physics and practical propulsions systems for a spacecraft or world ship that could travel between the Sun and the near stars periodically.
The minimum period found for this class of trajectory was about 41,000 years for a trip around three stars with a 16 light-year closed path and about 57,000 years for four stars with a 22 light-year path length.
If an order of magnitude more heat flux could be handled somehow, then the spacecraft could just skim the surface of the Sun (200 km/s or 0.0007c) giving a minimum cycle time of 24,000 years for three stars and 33,000 years for fours stars.
