Stable attitude dynamics of planar helio-stable and drag-stable sails
Narcís Miguel, Camilla Colombo
In this paper the planar orbit and attitude dynamics of an uncontrolled spacecraft is studied, taking on-board a deorbiting device. Solar and drag sails with the same shape are con…

Coverage Area Determination for Conical Fields of View Considering an Oblate Earth
Marco Nugnes, Camilla Colombo, Massimo Tipaldi
This paper introduces a new analytical method for the determination of the coverage area modeling the Earth as an oblate ellipsoid of rotation. Starting from the knowledge of the s…

Extension of the King-Hele orbit contraction method for accurate, semi-analytical propagation of non-circular orbits
Stefan Frey, Camilla Colombo, Stijn Lemmens
Numerical integration of orbit trajectories for a large number of initial conditions and for long time spans is computationally expensive. Semi-analytical methods were developed to…
