Parking a Spacecraft near an Asteroid Pair [PDF]
This paper studies the dynamics of a spacecraft moving in the field of a binary asteroid. The asteroid pair is modeled as a rigid body and a sphere moving in a plane, while the spacecraft moves in space under the influence of the gravitational field of

Precession of Mercury’s Perihelion from Ranging to the MESSENGER Spacecraft
The perihelion of Mercury’s orbit precesses due to perturbations from other solar system bodies, solar quadrupole moment (J2), and relativistic gravitational effects that are proportional to linear combinations of the parametrized post-Newtonian ...

Abstract Near‐earth orbits are becoming congested because of a rapid growth in the number of satellites and space debris, which presents a real threat to the sustainable use of space and the safety of the Earth. Despite space scientists and public policymakers having been actively seeking solutions for decades, solving the problem has been put off ...

Asteroid mining with small spacecraft and its economic feasibility [PDF]
Asteroid mining offers the possibility to revolutionize supply of resources vital for human civilization. Preliminary analysis suggests that Near-Earth Asteroids (NEA) contain enough volatile and high value minerals to make the mining process economically feasible.

Space environmental interactions with spacecraft surfaces [PDF]
Environmental interactions are defined as the response of spacecraft surfaces to the charged-particle environment. These interactions are divided into two broad categories: spacecraft passive, in which the environment acts on the surfaces and spacecraft ...

Fixed‐Time Control Lyapunov Function for Networked Non‐Linear Uncertain Systems
ABSTRACT This paper introduces a novel tool based on Lyapunov functions, aimed at analyzing the fixed‐time property of networked non‐linear uncertain systems while incorporating a specifically designed control law. The applicability of this tool is demonstrated by addressing the fixed‐time synchronization challenge within non‐linear uncertain multi ...

Novel Use of Photovoltaics for Backup Spacecraft Laser Communication System [PDF]
Communication with a spacecraft is typically performed using Radio Frequency (RF). RF is a well-established and well-regulated technology that enables communication over long distances as proven by the Voyager 1 & II missions. However, RF requires licensing of very limited radio spectrum and this poses a challenge in the future, particularly with ...
