WaveDriver: a Laser Guide Star AO System for HWO
Benjamin L. Gerard, Alex Geringer-Sameth, Aditya R. Sengupta +7
Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) presents a key challenge for technology development in the coming years, requiring a more stable system than \textit{JWST}. WaveD…
WaveDriver: a Laser Guide Star AO System for HWO
Benjamin L. Gerard, Alex Geringer-Sameth, Aditya R. Sengupta +16
HWO's Tier 1 Contrast Stability Technology Gap presents a key challenge for technology development in the coming years, requiring to a >100x more stable system than JWST. WaveDrive…
An Open Benchmark of One Million High-Fidelity Cislunar Trajectories
Travis Yeager, Denvir Higgins, Peter Mcgill +4
Cislunar space spans from geosynchronous altitudes to beyond the Moon and will underpin future exploration, science, and security operations. We describe and release an open datase…
Control-affine Schrödinger Bridge and Generalized Bohm Potential
Alexis M. H. Teter, Abhishek Halder, Michael D. Schneider +4
The control-affine Schrödinger bridge concerns with a stochastic optimal control problem. Its solution is a controlled evolution of joint state probability density subject to a co…
Optimal Control from a Fluid Dynamics Perspective
J. Pratt, M. Schneider, A. Perloff
An optimal control problem described by the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation can be developed into a problem that can be solved by general computational fluid dynamics packages. We…
Predicting Cislunar Orbit Lifetimes from Initial Orbital Elements
Denvir Higgins, Travis Yeager, Peter McGill +4
Cislunar space is the volume between Earth's geosynchronous orbit and beyond the Moon, including the lunar Lagrange points. Understanding the stability of orbits within this space…
