Preliminary Test of Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System Controller for Spacecraft Attitude Control [PDF]
The problem of spacecraft attitude control is solved using an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). An ANFIS produces a control signal for one of the three axes of a spacecraft’s body frame, so in total three ANFISs are constructed for 3-axis ...

Abstract A widely accepted global model of glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) is based on ICE‐6G ice loading and 1D‐viscosity model VM5a, a viscosity profile which remains at odds with mantle convection constraints such as from geoid modeling. We explore 3D‐viscosity variations in models of GIA and show that a model with lateral viscosity variations ...

Evolutionary Approach to Lambert’s Problem for Non-Keplerian Spacecraft Trajectories
In this paper, we use differential evolution (DE), with best-evolved results refined using a Nelder–Mead optimization, to solve boundary-value complex problems in orbital mechanics relevant to low Earth orbits (LEO).

Application of Analytic Solution in Relative Motion to Spacecraft Formation Flying in Elliptic Orbit [PDF]
The current paper presents application of a new analytic solution in general relative motion to spacecraft formation flying in an elliptic orbit. The calculus of variations is used to analytically find optimal trajectories and controls for the given ...

Obtaining the inverse of a nonlinear monotonic function f(x) over a given interval is a common problem in pure and applied mathematics, the most famous example being Kepler’s description of orbital motion in the two-body approximation.

An Earth-Moon Transfer Trajectory Design and Analysis Considering Spacecraft’s Visibility from Daejeon Ground Station at TLI and LOI Maneuvers [PDF]
The optimal Earth-Moon transfer trajectory considering spacecraft’s visibility from the Daejeon ground station visibility at both the trans lunar injection (TLI) and lunar orbit insertion (LOI) maneuvers is designed.

Abstract The Ediacaran–Cambrian (∼635–539 Ma) geomagnetic field is characterized by unusually high reversal rates and markedly weakened field strength. Estimates of these reversal frequencies can reveal key aspects of deep Earth dynamics and their potential influence on surface environments and early complex life.
