An Optimization Method for the Preliminary Design of Interplanetary Aerobraking Missions (Spacecraft, Orbit Mechanics)
… of atmospheric drag to circularize spacecraft orbits, a concept referred to as aerobraking, can significantly increase the useful payload mass fraction for various types of missions. A procedure is devised which determines the optimal combination of aerobrake shielding area and initial orbit …

Adaptive Methods of Resident Space Object Identification for Space Situational Awareness
… tracking of RSOs in their respective operational orbits, knowledge that is necessary for collision avoidance efforts and Space Domain Awareness (SDA) applications. In previous work, development was begun on a MATLAB program called RSOID to fulfill this purpose by accepting a collection (or …
