Crater Projection in Linear Pushbroom Camera Images
Michela Mancini, Ava Thrasher, Carl De Vries +1
Scientific imaging of the Moon, Mars, and other celestial bodies is often accomplished with pushbroom cameras. Craters with elliptical rims are common objects of interest within th…
On the Intersection of Two Conics
Michela Mancini, John A. Christian
Finding the intersection of two conics is a commonly occurring problem. For example, it occurs when identifying patterns of craters on the lunar surface, detecting the orientation…
Solving the Gibbs Problem with Algebraic Projective Geometry
Michela Mancini, John A. Christian
Orbit determination (OD) from three position vectors is one of the classical problems in astrodynamics. Early contributions to this problem were made by J. Willard Gibbs in the lat…
LONEStar: The Lunar Flashlight Optical Navigation Experiment
Michael Krause, Ava Thrasher, Priyal Soni +7
This paper documents the results from the highly successful Lunar flashlight Optical Navigation Experiment with a Star tracker (LONEStar). Launched in December 2022, Lunar Flashlig…
State estimation of a moving frequency source from observations at multiple receivers
Michela Mancini, Anton Leykin, John A. Christian
The task of position and velocity estimation of a moving transmitter (with either a known or unknown frequency) is a common problem arising in many different application domains. B…
Geometric Solution to the Angles-Only Initial Orbit Determination Problem
Michela Mancini, Timothy Duff, Anton Leykin +1
Initial orbit determination (IOD) from line-of-sight (i.e., bearing) measurements is a classical problem in astrodynamics. Indeed, there are many well-established methods for perfo…
