Abstract:

Saturn’s largest moon Titan (2575 km radius) is the second largest in the Solar system. Titan is the only known moon with a fully developed nitrogen-rich atmosphere with ionosphere extending to ~2000 km altitude, hosting complex organic chemistry. One of the main scientific interests of Titan’s atmosphere and ionosphere is the striking similarity to current theories of those of Earth ~3.5 billion years ago. The Cassini spacecraft has been in orbit around Saturn since 2004 and carries a wide range of instruments for investigating Titan’s ionosphere, among them the Langmuir probe, a “space weath

<p>A universal time of flight equation for any orbit is developed as a function of the initial and final radius, the change in true anomaly and the initial flight path angle. Lambert's theorem, a new corollary to this theorem, a trigonometric variable substitution and a continuing fraction expression are used in this development. The resulting equation is not explicitly dependent upon eccentricity and is determinate for -2n < (change in true anomaly) < 2n. A method to make the continuing fraction converge rapidly is evaluated using a top down algorithm. Finally, the accuracy of the universal t

Abstract:

A homotopy approach for solving constrained parameter optimization problems is examined. The first order necessary conditions, with the complementarity conditions represented using a technique due to Mangasarian, are solved. The equations are augmented to avoid singularities which occur when the active constraint set changes. The Chow-Yorke algorithm is used to track the homotopy path leading to the solution to the desired problem at the terminal point. Since the Chow-Yorke algorithm requires a fairly accurate computation of the Jacobian matrix, analytical representation of the system of equa

Abstract:

Gravitational waves detection is a challenging scientific objective, faced by scientist in the last 100 years, when Einstein theorized their existence. Despite multiple attempts, it was only in 2016 that the first observation of a gravitational wave was officially announced. The observation, worth a Nobel Prize, was made possible thanks to a worldwide collaboration of three large ground-based detectors. When detecting gravitational waves from ground, the noisy environment limits the frequency bandwidth of the measurement. Thus, the type of cosmic events that are observable is also limited. For

Abstract:

The problem of developing a generalized impulse as a function of a set of parameters is investigated. The proposed generalized impulse alters an existing orbit by producing, over some period of time, a change in velocity, ΔV, as well as a change in position, Δr. The generalized impulse is described by parameters associated with an instantaneous change in velocity as well as parameters associated with an atmospheric skip trajectory. Closed form solutions are obtained through several changes of independent variable, the use of modified Chapman variables and the consequent analytical integration

The complex dynamics which describe the motion of a spacecraft far from a massive planetary body or in a highly perturbed environment close to minor celestial objects raises two fundamental but related problems. The first is represented by the difficulty to accurately predict the evolution of its orbit even over short period when its initial conditions are known with a small degree of confidence. The second is given by the need for precise real time estimation of the trajectory when the spacecraft orbits near the asteroid’s surface to avoid impacting on it.
