Small Satellite Constellation Separation using Linear Programming based Differential Drag Commands
Emmanuel Sin, Murat Arcak, Andrew Packard
We study the optimal control of an arbitrarily large constellation of small satellites operating in low Earth orbit. Simulating the lack of on-board propulsion, we limit our actuat…
BLISS: Interplanetary Exploration with Swarms of Low-Cost Spacecraft
Alexander N. Alvara, Lydia Lee, Emmanuel Sin +3
Leveraging advancements in micro-scale technology, we propose a fleet of autonomous, low-cost, small solar sails for interplanetary exploration. The Berkeley Low-cost Interplanetar…
Optimal assignment of collaborating agents in multi-body asset-guarding games
Emmanuel Sin, Murat Arcak, Andrew Packard +2
We study a multi-body asset-guarding game in missile defense where teams of interceptor missiles collaborate to defend a non-manuevering asset against a group of threat missiles. W…
Fast Assignment in Asset-Guarding Engagements using Function Approximation
Neelay Junnarkar, Emmanuel Sin, Peter Seiler +2
This letter considers assignment problems consisting of n pursuers attempting to intercept n targets. We consider stationary targets as well as targets maneuvering toward an asset.…
Iterative Best Response for Multi-Body Asset-Guarding Games
Emmanuel Sin, Murat Arcak, Douglas Philbrick +1
We present a numerical approach to finding optimal trajectories for players in a multi-body, asset-guarding game with nonlinear dynamics and non-convex constraints. Using the Itera…
Attitude Trajectory Optimization for Agile Satellites in Autonomous Remote Sensing Constellation
Emmanuel Sin, Sreeja Nag, Vinay Ravindra +2
Agile attitude maneuvering maximizes the utility of remote sensing satellite constellations. By taking into account a satellite's physical properties and its actuator specification…
Passivity-based distributed acquisition and station-keeping control of a satellite constellation in areostationary orbit
Emmanuel Sin, He Yin, Murat Arcak
We present a distributed control law to assemble a cluster of satellites into an equally-spaced, planar constellation in a desired circular orbit about a planet. We assume each sat…
