Professor Elbaz I. Abouelmagd is an eminent scholar in celestial mechanics, dynamical astronomy, and space mission design, whose groundbreaking research has significantly advanced our understanding of orbital dynamics, particularly in the restricted three-body problem and its applications to space exploration. His prolific contributions are evidenced by an impressive H-Index of 35 in Scopus and Clarivate Databases. He has been honored with the Award of Scientific Abundance from the National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics (NRIAG) for five consecutive years (2018–2022) and received the 2021 Award in Mathematical Astronomy from the Academy of Scientific Research & Technology. Additionally, in 2023, he was recognized as one of the most valued reviewers for the Advances in Space Research journal. In acknowledgment of his exceptional impact, Professor Abouelmagd was included in Stanford University’s prestigious list of the top 2% of scientists worldwide in 2021, 2023, and 2024.
Key Research Contributions:
1. Restricted Three-Body Problem (R3BP)
• Developed analytical and numerical solutions for orbital stability around Lagrange points.
• Investigated the effects of perturbations (e.g., solar radiation pressure, oblateness) on spacecraft trajectories.
2. Periodic Orbits & Space Mission Design
• Studied quasi-periodic orbits for spacecraft in complex gravitational fields (e.g., Earth-Moon system, binary asteroids).
• Applied his findings to optimize low-energy trans
