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 ...

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.

Adaptive Saturated Neural Network Tracking Control of Spacecraft: Theory and Experimentation
An adaptive saturated neural network (NN) controller is developed for 6 degree-of-freedom (6DOF) spacecraft tracking, and its hardware-in-the-loop experimental validation is tested on the ground-based test facility. To overcome the dynamics uncertainties

Generating Stable and Metastable Critical Points in Uncertain Systems via Flow‐Based Models
ABSTRACT This work proposes the use of conditional flow‐based generative models to learn an approximation of the distribution of the critical points of a cost function. This approximation is used to incrementally identify all critical points, in the feasible domain of said function, by iteratively alternating the sampling of the distribution and the ...

Example of cluster identification of attitude configurations to avoid in the attitude space (in terms of angles of roll, pitch and yaw) for a payload composed by a cross antenna array with angle of arrival technology for CubeSats platforms. ABSTRACT Satellite geolocation of radio‐frequency emitters increasingly relies on compact angle‐of‐arrival (AOA ...
