GNC Challenges and Opportunities of CubeSat Science Missions Deployed from the Lunar Gateway
Himangshu Kalita, Miguel Donayre, Victor Padilla +6
The Lunar Gateway is expected to be positioned on-orbit around the Moon or in a Halo orbit at the L2 Lagrange point. The proposed Lunar Gateway is a game-changer for enabling new,…
Fate of the runner in hit-and-run collisions
Alexandre Emsenhuber, Erik Asphaug
In similar-sized planetary collisions, a significant part of the impactor often misses the target and continues downrange. We follow the dynamical evolution of "runners" from giant…
Constraining the Thermal Properties of Planetary Surfaces using Machine Learning: Application to Airless Bodies
Saverio Cambioni, Marco Delbo, Andrew J. Ryan +2
We present a new method for the determination of the surface properties of airless bodies from measurements of the emitted infrared flux. Our approach uses machine learning techniq…
An Autonomous Passive Navigation Method for Nanosatellite Exploration of the Asteroid Belt
Leonard Vance, Jekan Thangavelautham, Erik Asphaug
There are more than 750,000 asteroids identified in the main belt. These asteroids are diverse in composition and size. Some of these asteroids can be traced back to the early sola…
Guidance, Navigation and Control of Asteroid Mobile Imager and Geologic Observer (AMIGO)
Greg Wilburn, Himangshu Kalita, Aman Chandra +3
The science and origins of asteroids is deemed high priority in the Planetary Science Decadal Survey. Major scientific goals for the study of planetesimals are to decipher geologic…
A Milli-Newton Propulsion System for the Asteroid Mobile Imager and Geologic Observer (AMIGO)
Greg Wilburn, Erik Asphaug, Jekan Thangavelautham
Exploration of small bodies, namely comets and asteroids remain a challenging endeavor due to their low gravity. The risk is so high that missions such as Hayabusa II and OSIRIS-RE…
