Robust Angles-Only Initial Relative Orbit Determination Using Polynomial Optimization

Xingyu Zhou, Malcolm Macdonald, Roberto Armellin +2

This paper develops a robust angles-only IROD method based on polynomial optimization for arbitrary nonlinear dynamics. First, the relative motion is approximated by high-order Tay…

Concept-of-Operations Disposal Analysis of Spacecraft by Gossamer Structure

Malcolm Macdonald, Colin McInnes, Charlotte Lücking Bewick +3

A gossamer structure for end-of-life disposal of spacecraft to mitigate space debris is considered in comparison with other end-of-life disposal concepts to determine when it would…
