Spacecraft trajectory tracking and parameter estimation in the presence of a splitting contact binary asteroid
… asteroid surface operations. The composition of asteroids is often unknown and potentially unstable, many of which are bound together predominantly by gravitational forces. Surface operations such as mining may significantly alter the asteroid’s structure or, in the case of contact binary …

Orbit control for a spacecraft around a splitting contact binary asteroid
… orbit control problem for a spacecraft around a contact binary asteroid considering the dynamics of both the spacecraft and the asteroid itself. It is known that approximately 15\% of the near-Earth asteroids are binary, and among these the fraction of contact binaries is between 6 and 10%. Most …
