Collision Avoidance Maneuvers Optimization in the Presence of Multiple Encounters
Zeno Pavanello, Laura Pirovano, Roberto Armellin +2
The optimization of fuel-optimal low-thrust collision avoidance maneuvers (CAMs) in scenarios involving multiple encounters between spacecraft is addressed. The optimization's obje…
Recursive Polynomial Method for Fast Collision Avoidance Maneuver Design
Zeno Pavanello, Laura Pirovano, Roberto Armellin
A simple and reliable algorithm for collision avoidance maneuvers (CAMs), capable of computing impulsive, multi-impulsive, and low-thrust maneuvers, is proposed. The probability of…
Convex Optimization-based Model Predictive Control for Active Space Debris Removal Mission Guidance
Minduli Wijayatunga, Roberto Armellin, Harry Holt +2
A convex optimization-based model predictive control (MPC) algorithm for the guidance of active debris removal (ADR) missions is proposed in this work. A high-accuracy reference fo…
Convex Optimization-Based Model Predictive Control for the Guidance of Active Debris Removal Transfers
Minduli Wijayatunga, Roberto Armellin, Harry Holt +2
