摘要

Asteroid exploration is currently one of the most concerned topics among international space agencies. Orbital dynamics and navigation are obviously crucial for asteroid exploration. This paper aims to give a brief review on the dynamics, control and navigation of asteroid reconnaissance orbits, including the heliocentric transfer orbit and near asteroid orbit. The developments in optimization techniques of the transfer segment are discussed in detail. We surveyed global researches in this field and made comments on several important progresses. The final section proposed a prospective of future studies with emphasis on the key techniques of these issues in the asteroid exploration missions.
