Multi-function array SAR system on a spaceborne dual platform

open access: yesThe Journal of Engineering, 2019
This study proposes a sparse linear array synthetic aperture radar (LASAR) on a spaceborne dual platform. The transmitting elements are placed at the LASAR tips that form a satellite's dual platform, and the receiving elements are placed on the large ...

Azimuthal repositioning of payloads in heliocentric orbit using solar sails [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
FUTURE solar physics missions will require the ability to reposition multiple spacecraft at different azimuthal positions relative to the Earth, while remaining close to a one year circular orbit.

Sparse control for continuous‐time systems

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 6-22, 10 January 2023., 2023
Abstract In this survey article, we give a comprehensive review of sparse control for continuous‐time systems, called maximum hands‐off control. The maximum hands‐off control is the optimal control, for which we introduce fundamental properties such as necessary conditions, existence, and equivalence to the optimal control.

Architectural Decisions for Communications Satellite Constellations to Maintain Profitability While Serving Uncovered and Underserved Communities

open access: yesInternational Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 82-97, January/February 2023., 2023
This paper analyzes which constellation characteristics provide the best global coverage at the lowest operational cost. Our analysis has found that geostationary and medium Earth orbit satellite constellations have the highest likelihood of profitability. LEO networks are more expensive, but if designed wisely, they can be competitive.

A Prosaic Explanation for the Anomalous Accelerations Seen in Distant Spacecraft [PDF]

open access: yesPhys.Rev.Lett. 83 (1999) 1890, 1998
Anderson, et al. (gr-qc/9808081) have recently reported the discovery of an apparent anomalous, weak, long-range acceleration in the Pioneer 10/11 and Ulysses spacecraft. I believe that this result can be explained by non-isotropic radiative cooling of the spacecraft electronics through passive radiators on the spacecraft surface.
