Extensive Database of Spatial Ballistic Captures with Application to Lunar Trailblazer
Lorenzo Anoè, Roberto Armellin, Gregory Lantoine +1
For low-energy missions to the Moon and beyond, Ballistic Capture has proven to be a valuable technique for enabling orbital insertion while alleviating propulsion system requireme…
A novel conjunction filter based on the minimum distance between perturbed trajectories
Ana S. Rivero, Giulio Baù, Rafael Vazquez +1
The increasing congestion in the near-Earth space environment has amplified the need for robust and efficient conjunction analysis techniques including the computation of the minim…
Convex Optimization-based Model Predictive Control for Active Space Debris Removal Mission Guidance
Minduli Wijayatunga, Roberto Armellin, Harry Holt +2
A convex optimization-based model predictive control (MPC) algorithm for the guidance of active debris removal (ADR) missions is proposed in this work. A high-accuracy reference fo…
Convex Optimization-Based Model Predictive Control for the Guidance of Active Debris Removal Transfers
Minduli Wijayatunga, Roberto Armellin, Harry Holt +2
Active debris removal (ADR) missions have garnered significant interest as means of mitigating collision risks in space. This work proposes a convex optimization-based model predic…
