Low-Thrust Trajectory Optimization with Quantum Computing and Sequential Convex Programming
Carmine Giordano
Low-thrust trajectory optimization is a central task in interplanetary mission design, but its nonlinear dynamics and operational constraints often lead to challenging non-convex o…
Dynamical evolution and surface accretion of DART impact ejecta in the (65803) Didymos system
Xiaoyu Fu, Nicolo Stronati, Stefania Soldini +6
The DART spacecraft impacted Dimorphos, the small moonlet of Didymos binary system, on 26 September 2022. The impact ejected dust, fragments, and boulders into the near-binary envi…
Search for soft unclustered energy patterns produced in association with a W or Z boson in proton-proton collisions at = 13 TeV
CMS Collaboration
A search for a Higgs boson produced in association with a W or Z boson and decaying via a soft unclustered energy pattern (SUEP) is presented. The analysis is based on proton-proto…
Comparison of uncertainty propagation techniques in small-body environment
Niccolò Michelotti, Antonio Rizza, Carmine Giordano +1
Close-proximity exploration of small celestial bodies is crucial for the comprehensive and accurate characterization of their properties. However, the complex and uncertain dynamic…
Characterization of Singular Arcs in Spacecraft Trajectory Optimization
Andrea Carlo Morelli, Carmine Giordano, Riccardo Bonalli +1
Low-thrust engines for interplanetary spacecraft transfers allow cost-effective space missions with flexible launch and arrival dates. To find fuel-optimal trajectories, an optimal…
Synthesis of Ballistic Capture Corridors at Mars via Polynomial Chaos Expansion
Martina Liotta, Gianmario Merisio, Carmine Giordano +1
The space sector is experiencing a flourishing growth and evidence is mounting that the near future will be characterized by a large amount of deep-space missions. In the last deca…
Initial Trajectory Assessment of the RAMSES Mission to (99942) Apophis
Andrea C. Morelli, Alessandra Mannocchi, Carmine Giordano +2
(99942) Apophis is a potentially hazardous asteroid that will closely approach the Earth on April 13, 2029. Although the likelihood of an impact has been ruled out, this close enco…
Characterization of the ejecta from NASA/DART impact on Dimorphos: observations and Monte Carlo models
Fernando Moreno, Adriano Campo Bagatin, Gonzalo Tancredi +26
The NASA/DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) spacecraft successfully crashed on Dimorphos, the secondary component of the binary (65803) Didymos system. Following the impact, a…
Applied Trajectory Design for close-proximity operations of Asteroid CubeSat Mission
Claudio Bottiglieri, Felice Piccolo, Carmine Giordano +1
In this paper, a practical approach to the trajectory design for asteroid exploration missions with CubeSats is presented. When applied trajectories are sought, operative concerns…
Preliminary mission profile of Hera's Milani CubeSat
Fabio Ferrari, Vittorio Franzese, Mattia Pugliatti +2
CubeSats offer a flexible and low-cost option to increase the scientific and technological return of small-body exploration missions. ESA's Hera mission, the European component of…
