Convexity of intercept time in short-range re-entry vehicle defence: how to optimally intercept a fast re-entry vehicle travelling in a lofted trajectory [PDF]

Journal of Defense Analytics and Logistics
PurposeThe described anomaly allows an interceptor to intercept a threat that has superior speed. The results account for gravity and would not occur if the trajectories of the threat and the interceptor were modelled as simple straight lines.

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full
