Photons x Force: Differentiable Radiation Pressure Modeling
Charles Constant, Elizabeth Bates, Santosh Bhattarai +2
We propose a system to optimize parametric designs subject to radiation pressure, \ie the effect of light on the motion of objects. This is most relevant in the design of spacecraf…

Evaluating Near-Real Time Thermospheric Density Retrieval Methods from Precise Low Earth Orbit Spacecraft Ephemerides During Geomagnetic Storms
Charles Constant, Santosh Bhattarai, Indigo Brownhall +2
Characterizing the density of the thermosphere during geomagnetic storms is critical for both thermosphere modelling efforts and satellite operations. Accurate near-real time densi…
