Laboratory experiments of resident space object capture by a spacecraft–manipulator system [PDF]

open access: yesAerospace Science and Technology, 2017
Abstract A set of laboratory experiments are conducted to demonstrate the autonomous capture of a simulated resident space object by a simulated spacecraft equipped with a robotic manipulator. A planar air-bearing test bed provides a quasi-weightless and drag-free dynamic environment on a plane.

Estimation of thruster plumes for resident space object optical observation

Sensors and Systems for Space Applications XIII, 2020
With the ever-growing number of resident space objects (RSOs) surrounding the Earth, it is imperative that we develop techniques for determining their current and future state by leveraging a collection of radio frequency and optical observations to maintain space domain awareness (SDA). The state of an RSO at a future time is determined by its current

Inverse Radon transform scaling via spin rate estimation for resident space object size assessment

open access: yesIET Radar, Sonar and Navigation, 2019
The population of resident space objects (RSOs) has increased drastically during the past years. These objects became a great threat for active satellites.

COMBINA: Relative Navigation for Unknown Uncooperative Resident Space Object

open access: yesAIAA SCITECH 2022 Forum, 2022
In recent years, space debris has become a threat for satellites operating in Low Earth Orbit. Even by applying debris mitigation guidelines, their number will still increase in the next century.

A Cython Bound Tracklet- Tracklet Correlation for Resident Space Objects

open access: yes2023 IEEE Aerospace Conference, 2023
Almost all humankind depends on satellite technology orbiting the Earth. However, space operations are increasingly endangered by the rapidly growing number of orbiting objects and debris. To avoid collisions with debris particles and to keep the space
