Limitations of Initial Orbit Determination Methods for Low Earth Orbit CubeSats with Short Arc Orbital Passes
… Circular, will use different amounts of orbital arc to determine which methods perform the best in the short arc regime of less than 10 degrees of orbital arc. Once the best method for estimating the orbit is determined, there will be analysis on whether these IOD methods are accurate enough to …

DESIGN, MODELING AND TESTING OF OPTICAL SURFACES IN ILLUMINATION OPTICS
… system design. In this dissertation, an analytic short-arc source modeling method is developed and integrated in the illumination design software ZEMAX.In addition to the design and modeling work, this dissertation explores a flexible, low-cost and robust Software Configurable Optical Test System …

Spacecraft trajectory optimization using many embedded Lambert problems
… direct, unconstrained optimization using many, short-arc, embedded Lambert problems that discretize the trajectory. The short arcs share terminal positions to implicitly enforce position continuity and the instantaneous velocity discontinuities in between segments are the control. These coasting …
