The Hamburg Meteorite Fall: Fireball trajectory, orbit and dynamics
P. G. Brown, D. Vida, D. E. Moser +10
The Hamburg (H4) meteorite fell on January 17, 2018 at 01:08 UT approximately 10km North of Ann Arbor, Michigan. More than two dozen fragments totaling under one kilogram were reco…
Differential Drag Control Scheme for Large Constellation of Planet Satellites and On-Orbit Results
Cyrus Foster, James Mason, Vivek Vittaldev +4
A methodology is presented for the differential drag control of a large fleet of propulsion-less satellites deployed in the same orbit. The controller places satellites into a cons…
Orbit Determination and Differential-drag Control of Planet Labs Cubesat Constellations
Cyrus Foster, Henry Hallam, James Mason
We present methodology and mission results from orbit determination of Planet Labs nanosatellites and differential-drag control of their relative motion. Orbit determination (OD) i…
Orbital Debris-Debris Collision Avoidance
James Mason, Jan Stupl, William Marshall +1
We focus on preventing collisions between debris and debris, for which there is no current, effective mitigation strategy. We investigate the feasibility of using a medium-powered…
