Kernel Embedding Approaches to Orbit Determination of Spacecraft Clusters

, 2018
This paper presents a novel formulation and solution of orbit determination over finite time horizons as a learning problem. We present an approach to orbit determination under very broad conditions that are satisfied for n-body problems. These weak conditions allow us to perform orbit determination with noisy and highly non-linear observations such as

Diurnal Temperature Variability at Latitudinally Distinct Sites on the Moon

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The thermophysical environment of the Moon plays a crucial role for future exploration, resource utilization and also in understanding its geological evolution. While global‐scale surface temperature distributions have been reasonably well constrained through numerical modeling and orbiter observations, recent in situ measurements have ...

ION INJECTION AT QUASI-PARALLEL SHOCKS SEEN BY THE CLUSTER SPACECRAFT

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2016
ABSTRACT Collisionless shocks in space plasma are known to be capable of accelerating ions to very high energies through diffusive shock acceleration (DSA). This process requires an injection of suprathermal ions, but the mechanisms producing such a suprathermal ion seed population are still not fully understood. We study acceleration of

The Cluster spacecraft's view of the motion of the high-latitude magnetopause [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae
Abstract. The boundary between the interplanetary magnetic field and the terrestrial magnetic field is the magnetopause. This magnetopause is influenced by dynamic changes in the solar wind, that is different solar wind conditions lead to a change in the shape and location of the magnetopause.

Fourier Neural Operator for Moonquake Detection

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Moonquakes provide critical observations for probing the lunar interior, yet their analysis is hindered by the limited number of recordings and their inherently low signal‐to‐noise ratio (S/N). Conventional detection methods such as Short‐Term Average/Long‐Term Average (STA/LTA) perform poorly on lunar data, while standard deep learning models

Model Validation of M‐I Coupling in SWMF

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The accurate modeling of field‐aligned currents (FAC) and electron precipitation is critical for understanding magnetosphere‐ionosphere coupling and improving space weather predictions. This study evaluates the performance of the SWMF in replicating observed FAC magnitudes and distributions, as well as electron precipitation during storms and ...

The Evolution of a Polar Cap Patch Into a Blob in the Nightside Ionosphere: Direct Observations of Multiple Blob Formation Mechanisms Acting Simultaneously on the Same Plasma

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract A polar cap patch was observed to exit the polar cap to become a blob as it entered the auroral oval on the nightside of the Earth under moderately quiet geomagnetic conditions (Kp = 3−). Auroral particle precipitation led to an increase in the electron density of the blob.

Characterizing the Signals and Backgrounds in a Low Earth Orbiting Cherenkov Detector, and Background Mitigation Strategies

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Cherenkov detectors have been used in space for decades to measure Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCRs), Solar Energetic Particles (SEPs) and trapped particles. We present proof‐of‐concept GRAS/Geant4 simulations to both show that a cubic fused silica Cherenkov detector with SiPM in LEO has a good sensitivity to SEP and GCR protons as a function of cut‐

Spacecraft Telemetry Monitoring Method Based on Dimensionality Reduction and Clustering

JOURNAL OF THE JAPAN SOCIETY FOR AERONAUTICAL AND SPACE SCIENCES, 2011
Development of intelligent system monitoring and fault detection techniques for spacecraft is of a great interest in the space engineering. In this paper, we propose a “data-driven” anomaly detection framework for spacecraft telemetry data using dimensionality reduction and clustering techniques.
