Dynamics modelling and path optimization for the on-orbit assembly of large flexible structures using a multi-arm robot
Ricardo Rodrigues, Valentin Preda, Francesco Sanfedino +1
This paper presents a comprehensive methodology for modeling an on-orbit assembly mission scenario of a large flexible structure using a multi-arm robot. This methodology accounts…
Modeling, robust control synthesis and worst-case analysis for an on-orbit servicing mission with large flexible spacecraft
Ricardo Rodrigues, Valentin Preda, Francesco Sanfedino +1
This paper outlines a complete methodology for modeling an on-orbit servicing mission scenario and designing a feedback control system for the attitude dynamics that is guaranteed…
LPV Modeling of the Atmospheric Flight Dynamics of a Generic Parafoil Return Vehicle
Matthis H. de Lange, Chris Verhoek, Valentin Preda +1
Obtaining models that can be used for control is of utmost importance to ensure the guidance and navigation of spacecraft, like a Generic Parafoil Return Vehicle (GPRV). In this pa…
Reconfiguration of a satellite constellation in circular formation orbit with decentralized model predictive control
Tomas Pippia, Valentin Preda, Samir Bennani +1
Satellite constellation missions, consisting of a large number of spacecraft, are increasingly being launched or planned. Such missions require novel control approaches, in particu…
Optimal Science-time Reorientation Policy for the Comet Interceptor Flyby via Sequential Convex Programming
Valentin Preda, Andrew Hyslop, Samir Bennani
This paper introduces an algorithm to perform optimal reorientation of a spacecraft during a high speed flyby mission that maximizes the time a certain target is kept within the fi…
Integrated modelling of microvibrations induced by Solar Array Drive Mechanism for worst-case end-to-end analysis and robust disturbance estimation
Francesco Sanfedino, Daniel Alazard, Valentin Preda +1
Modern and future observation Space missions face increasingly more demanding pointing performance requirements. This is accompanied with the development of larger lightweight flex…
Autonomous parafoil precision landing using convex real-time optimized guidance and control
Antoine Leeman, Valentin Preda, Irene Huertas +1
To overcome the limitations of current parafoil precision landing capabilities, an efficient real-time convex optimized guidance and control strategy is presented. Successive conve…
