High-Fidelity Baseline Design and Station Keeping Analyses for Earth-Moon Vertical Orbits
Derek Phung, Yuri Shimane
Earth-Moon vertical orbits are periodic solutions of the circular restricted three-body problem (CR3BP) with substantial out-of-plane motion, considered for high-latitude lunar obs…
A practical guide to implementing zero-order-hold interplanetary trajectory legs
Dario Izzo, Harry Holt, Giacomo Acciarini +2
We study the practical implementation of zero-order-hold (ZOH) transcriptions for spacecraft trajectory optimisation, identifying a set of design principles that render them robust…
Optimization-Based Formation Flight on Libration Point Orbits
Yuri Shimane, Purnanand Elango, Avishai Weiss
A model predictive control (MPC) framework is developed for station-keeping in spacecraft formation flight along libration point orbits. At each control period, the MPC policy solv…
Autonomous Navigation and Station-Keeping on Near-Rectilinear Halo Orbits
Yuri Shimane, Karl Berntorp, Stefano Di Cairano +1
This article develops an optical navigation (OPNAV) and station-keeping pipeline for the near-rectilinear halo orbit (NRHO) in high-fidelity ephemeris model dynamics, using synthet…
Multi-Vehicle Guidance for Formation Flight on Libration Point Orbits
Yuri Shimane, Purnanand Elango, Avishai Weiss
The multiple spacecraft guidance problem for proximity flight in libration point orbit is considered. A nonlinear optimal control problem with continuous-time path constraints enfo…
Revolution-Spaced Output-Feedback Model Predictive Control for Station Keeping on Near-Rectilinear Halo Orbits
Yuri Shimane, Stefano Di Cairano, Koki Ho +1
We develop a model predictive control (MPC) policy for station keeping on a Near-Rectilinear Halo Orbit (NRHO). The proposed policy achieves full-state tracking of a reference NRHO…

Dario Izzo, Marcus Märtens, Laurent Beauregard +8
In 2023, the 12th edition of Global Trajectory Competition was organised around the problem referred to as "Sustainable Asteroid Mining". This paper reports the developments that l…
Cislunar Space Situational Awareness Constellation Design and Planning with Facility Location Problem
Yuri Shimane, Kento Tomita, Koki Ho
Driven by the surmounting interest for dedicated infrastructure in cislunar space, this work considers the satellite constellation design for cislunar space situational awareness (…
Generalizing Space Logistics Network Optimization with Integrated Machine Learning and Mathematical Programming
Koki Ho, Yuri Shimane, Masafumi Isaji
Recent growing complexity in space missions has led to an active research field of space logistics and mission design. This research field leverages the key ideas and methods used…
Sensitivity Analysis of Separation Time Along Weak Stability Boundary Transfers
Isabel Nolton, Kento Tomita, Yuri Shimane +1
This study analyzes the sensitivity of the dynamics around Weak Stability Boundary Transfers (WSBT) in the elliptical restricted three-body problem. With WSBTs increasing popularit…
Cislunar Satellite Constellation Design Via Integer Linear Programming
Malav Patel, Yuri Shimane, Hang Woon Lee +1
Cislunar space domain awareness is of increasing interest to the international community as Earth-Moon traffic is projected to increase, which raises the problem of placing space-b…
Multi-Spacecraft Predictive Sensor Tasking for Cislunar Space Situational Awareness
Kento Tomita, Yuri Shimane, Koki Ho
This paper delves into the predictive sensor tasking algorithm for the multi-observer, multi-target sensor setting, leveraging the Extended Information Filter (EIF). Conventional p…
Optimizing Multi-Spacecraft Cislunar Space Domain Awareness Systems via Hidden-Genes Genetic Algorithm
Lois Visonneau, Yuri Shimane, Koki Ho
This paper proposes an optimization problem formulation to tackle the challenges of cislunar Space Domain Awareness (SDA) through multi-spacecraft monitoring. Due to the large volu…
Orbital Facility Location Problem for Satellite Constellation Servicing Depots
Yuri Shimane, Nick Gollins, Koki Ho
This work proposes an adaptation of the Facility Location Problem for the optimal placement of on-orbit servicing depots for satellite constellations in high-altitude orbit. The hi…
