New space missions are increasingly more complex; demands on exotic orbits to solve engineering problems have grown beyond the conic-centered astrodynamic infrastructure. The delicate heteroclinic dynamics used by the Genesis Mission dramatically illustrates the need for a new paradigm: dynamical systems. Furthermore, it appears this dynamics has much to say about the morphology and transport of materials within the Solar System. The synergistic interplay between the natural dynamics of the Solar System and applications to engineering has produced a number of new applications, such as a "Petit Grand Tour'' of Jovian moons and a low energy transfer with lunar ballistic capture.
