Electrochromic orbit control for smart-dust devices [PDF]
, 2012 Recent advances in MEMS (micro electromechanical systems) technology are leading to spacecraft which are the shape and size of computer chips, so-called SpaceChips, or ‘smart dust devices’.

Extension of the sun-synchronous Orbit [PDF]
, 2010 Through careful consideration of the orbit perturbation force due to the oblate nature of the primary body a secular variation of the ascending node angle of a near-polar orbit can be induced without expulsion of propellant.

Orbit design for future SpaceChip swarm missions in a planetary atmosphere [PDF]
, 2012 The effect of solar radiation pressure and atmospheric drag on the orbital dynamics of satellites-on-a-chip (SpaceChips) is exploited to design equatorial long-lived orbits about the oblate Earth.

Thermal Bending of the Rotor Due to Rotor-to-Stator Rub
International Journal of Rotating Machinery, 2000 The rotor thermal bending due to the rotor-to-stator rubbing can lead to one of three types of observed rotor lateral motion: (1) spiral with increasing amplitude, (2) oscillating between rub]no-rub conditions, and (3) asymptotical approach to the rotor ...

Orbit Dynamics and Kinematics with Full Quaternions [PDF]
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2004 Abstract Full quaternions constitute a compact notation for describing the motion of a body in the space. An important result about full quaternions is that they can be partitioned into a unit quaternion (which describes the orientation with respect to a suitable reference), and a modulus (which represents the translational motion along the direction

Flight Dynamics Operations of the TanDEM-X Formation [PDF]
, 2012 Since end of 2010 the German TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X satellites are routinely operated as the first configurable single-pass Synthetic Aperture Radar interferometer in space. The two 1340 kg satellites fly in a 514 km sun-synchronous orbit.

Axial to transverse energy mixing dynamics in octupole-based magnetostatic antihydrogen traps
New Journal of Physics, 2018 The nature of the trajectories of antihydrogen atoms confined in an octupole minimum-B trap is of great importance for upcoming spectroscopy, cooling, and gravity experiments.

The Perturbed Full Two-body Problem: Application to Post-DART Didymos
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 With the successful impact of the NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft in the Didymos–Dimorphos binary asteroid system, we provide an initial analysis of the post-impact perturbed binary asteroid dynamics.
