Rapid nonlinear convex guidance using a monomial method
Ethan R. Burnett, Francesco Topputo
This paper addresses the challenge of accommodating nonlinear dynamics and constraints in rapid trajectory optimization, envisioned for use in the context of onboard guidance. We p…
Finding regions of bounded motion in binary asteroid environment using Lagrangian descriptors
Sebastiano Raffa, Gianmario Merisio, Francesco Topputo
Trajectory design in highly-perturbed environments like binary asteroids is challenging. It typically requires using realistic, non-autonomous dynamical models in which periodic so…
Qualitative study of ballistic capture at Mars via Lagrangian descriptors
Alessio Quinci, Gianmario Merisio, Francesco Topputo
Lagrangian descriptors reveal the dynamical skeleton governing transport mechanisms of a generic flow. In doing so, they unveil geometrical structures in the phase space that separ…
Robust Bang-Off-Bang Low-Thrust Guidance Using Model Predictive Static Programming
Yang Wang, Francesco Topputo
Model Predictive Static Programming (MPSP) was always used under the assumption of continuous control, which impedes it for applications with bang-off-bang control directly. In thi…
