Nonlinear Propagation of Non-Gaussian Uncertainties
Giacomo Acciarini, Nicola Baresi, David Lloyd +1
This paper presents a novel approach for propagating uncertainties in dynamical systems building on high-order Taylor expansions of the flow and moment-generating functions (MGFs).…
Global Optimization for Trajectory Design via Invariant Manifolds in the Earth-Moon Circular Restricted Three-Body Problem
Flavio Tagliaferri, Emmanuel Blazquez, Giacomo Acciarini +1
This study addresses optimal impulsive trajectory design within the Circular Restricted Three-Body Problem (CR3BP), presenting a global optimization-based approach to identify mini…
Stochastic Continuation of Trajectories in the Circular Restricted Three-Body Problem via Differential Algebra
Giacomo Acciarini, Nicola Baresi, David J. B. Lloyd +1
Numerical continuation techniques are powerful tools that have been extensively used to identify particular solutions of nonlinear dynamical systems and enable trajectory design in…
Breaking traditions: introducing a surrogate Primer Vector in non Keplerian dynamics
Laurent Beauregard, Dario Izzo, Giacomo Acciarini
In this study, we investigate trajectories involving multiple impulses within the framework of a generic spacecraft dynamics. Revisiting the age-old query of "How many impulses?",…
