Potential of Ka‐Band Range Rate Post‐Fit Residuals for High‐Frequency Mass Change Applications
Abstract We present the first extensive analysis of K/Ka‐band ranging post‐fit residuals of an official Level‐2 product, characterized as Line‐of‐Sight Gravity Differences (LGD), which exhibit and showcase interesting sub‐monthly geophysical signals.

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).

Validation of GPS Based Precise Orbits Using SLR Observations [PDF]
In this study, the YLPODS (Yonsei Laser-ranging Precision Orbit Determination System) is developed for POD using SLR (Satellite Laser Ranging) NP (Normal Point) observations. The performance of YLPODS is tested using SLR NP observations of TOPEX/POSEIDON

Modulation of the Ocean Surface Skin Temperature and Heat Flux in the Presence of Strong SST Fronts
Abstract Previous studies of air‐sea interactions over sharp oceanic fronts have suggested that it is the ocean that drives the atmosphere across sub‐mesoscale ocean fronts, but it is the atmosphere that drives the ocean at synoptic scales; the responsible mechanism, however, is still a matter of debate.

Novel numerical optimisation of the Hohmann Spiral Transfer [PDF]
As the revenue of commercial spacecraft platforms is generated by its payload, of which the capacity is maximised when fuel-mass is minimised, there is great interest in ensuring the fuel required for the trajectory to deliver the satellite to its ...

The Effect of Water Vapor and Solar Zenith Angle on Oceanic Diurnal Warming
Abstract Oceanic diurnal warm layers have been extensively studied over the years due to their important role in a variety of geophysical disciplines. Much of this research has been dedicated to the development of predictive models of varying complexity to calculate the spatiotemporal magnitude of the effect. This manuscript presents results which show

Non-averaged regularized formulations as an alternative to semi-analytical orbit propagation methods
This paper is concerned with the comparison of semi-analytical and non-averaged propagation methods for Earth satellite orbits. We analyse the total integration error for semi-analytical methods and propose a novel decomposition into dynamical, model ...
