Electrochromic orbit control for smart-dust devices [PDF]

open access: yes, 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’.

Prediction of the aerodynamic performance of re-usable single stage to orbit vehicles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Re-usable single stage to orbit launch vehicles promise to reduce the cost of access to space, but their success will be particularly reliant on accurate modelling of their aero-thermodynamic characteristics.

On-Orbit Manoeuvring Using Superquadric Potential Fields [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
On-orbit manoeuvring represents an essential process in many space missions such as orbital assembly, servicing and reconfiguration. A new methodology, based on the potential field method along with superquadric repulsive potentials, is discussed in this

Obstacle Avoidance in a Three-Dimensional Dynamic Environment Based on Fuzzy Dynamic Windows

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
This paper presents a real-time path planning approach for controlling the motion of space-based robots. The algorithm can plan three-dimensional trajectories for agents in a complex environment which includes numerous static and dynamic obstacles, path ...

Design and Dynamic Control: A Free-Flying Space Robot Inspired by Water Striders

open access: yesBiomimetics, 2023
This work designed a free-flying space robot (FFSR) that simulates the on-orbit assembly of large space telescopes, drawing inspiration from the flexible movement of water striders on water surfaces.

Frobenius Manifolds on Orbits Spaces

open access: yesMathematical Physics, Analysis and Geometry, 2022
The orbits space of an irreducible linear representation of a finite group is a variety whose coordinate ring is the ring of invariant polynomials. Boris Dubrovin proved that the orbits space of the standard reflection representation of an irreducible finite Coxeter group $\mathcal W$ acquires a natural polynomial Frobenius manifold structure. We apply

Finitistic Spaces with Orbit Space a Product of Projective Spaces

open access: yes, 2023
Let G = Z2 act freely on a nitistic space X. If the mod 2 cohomology of X is isomorphic to the real projective space RP^{2n+1} (resp. complex projective space CP^{2n+1}) then the mod 2 cohomology of orbit spaces of these free actions are RP1 x CPn (resp. RP2 x HPn) [7]. In this paper, we have discussed converse of these results. We have showed that if

Time-optimal trajectories to circumsolar space using solar electric propulsion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The aim of this paper is to explore the capabilities of a solar electric propelled spacecraft on a mission towards circumsolar space. Using an indirect approach, the paper investigates minimum time of transfer (direct) trajectories from an initial ...

Improved Uncalibrated Visual Servo Strategy for Hyper-Redundant Manipulators in On-Orbit Automatic Assembly

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Aiming at on-orbit automatic assembly, an improved uncalibrated visual servo strategy for hyper-redundant manipulators based on projective homography is proposed.
