Orbit Precision Analysis of Small Man-Made Space Objects in LEO Based on Radar Tracking Measurements [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The German Space Operations Center (GSOC) performs collision avoidance for 11 LEO and 2 GEO satellites. Risk detection and maneuver decisions strongly depend on the computed probability of collision that is driven by the anticipated orbit precision of ...

Direct initial orbit determination

open access: yes, 2023
Initial orbit determination (IOD) is an important early step in the processing chain that makes sense of and reconciles the multiple optical observations of a resident space object.

A method for perturbed initial orbit determination and correlation of radar measurements [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The increasing number of space debris in orbit leads to a growing workload of space surveillance systems. For objects in Low Earth Orbit, radar systems have to maintain orbits of known objects and detect new ones.

Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Analytic Initial Orbit Determination using Satellite Streaks in Digital Images

open access: yes, 2021
Presented at the 2021 AAS/AIAA Astrodynamics Specialist Conference in Big Sky, MT.Earth orbiting satellites often appear as streaks in images collected by inertially pointed cameras or telescopes.

Track association performance of the best hypotheses search method [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Uncontrolled space objects in the geostationary orbit domain are hazardous threats for active satellites. Catalogs need to be build up, in order to protect this precious domain. The Swiss ZimSMART telescope, located in Zimmerwald, regularly scans the

Structures of mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase reveal carrier‐domain translocation between catalytic sites

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase uses a mobile biotin‐carrying domain to shuttle a carboxyl group between two catalytic sites, enabling carboxylation of 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA during leucine breakdown. Cryo‐electron microscopy captures the carrier at both sites and reveals an inward loop movement that may prevent futile rebinding to the ...

Shadowing Lemma and chaotic orbit determination

open access: yes, 2016
Orbit determination is possible for a chaotic orbit of a dynamical system, given a finite set of observations, provided the initial conditions are at the central time.

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

Autonomous Orbit Determination of LLO Satellite Using DRO–LLO Links and Lunar Laser Ranging

open access: yesAerospace
A stable and high-precision autonomous orbit determination scheme for a Low Lunar Orbit (LLO) spacecraft is proposed, leveraging satellite-to-satellite tracking (SST) measurement data and lunar laser ranging data.
