Cargo revenue management for space logistics
… management, specifically capacity control, to space logistics for use in the optimization of mission cargo allocations, which in turn affect duration, infrastructure availability, and forward logistics. Two capacity control algorithms were developed; the first is based on partitioning of Monte …

Space logistics network optimization with embedded propulsion technology selection
… solar electric propulsion, along with existing space exploration technologies. Trajectory analysis plays a key role in deciding the costs of using different propulsion technologies. Traditional trajectory design methods are usually confined to analyzing individual missions using high-thrust or …

Generalized multi-commodity network flows : case studies in space logistics and complex infrastructure systems
In transition to a new era of human space exploration, the question is what the next-generation space logistics paradigm should be. The past studies on space logistics have been mainly focused on a "vehicle" perspective such as propulsive feasibility, cargo capacity constraints, and manifesting …

A flexible, modular approach to integrated space exploration campaign logistics modeling, simulation, and analysis
A space logistics modeling framework to support space exploration to remote environments is the target of research within the MIT Space Logistics Project. This thesis presents a revised and expanded framework providing capabilities to analyze a new set of explorations using a generalized resource …

Dynamic network modeling for spaceflight logistics with time-expanded networks
This research develops a dynamic logistics network formulation for high-level lifecycle optimization of space mission sequences in order to find an optimal space transportation architecture considering its technology trades over time. The proposed methodology is inspired by terrestrial logistics …

In Space Reverse Logistics
This study proposes In Space Reverse Logistics (ISRL), a fully reusable multi-mission network design for mitigating and remediating space debris in proliferated Low Earth Orbit (pLEO) constellations. The ISRL design aims to collect defunct satellites from their operating orbits and to bring them to …

Towards the sustainable industrial development of Mars : comparing novel ISRU / ISM architectures using lifetime embodied energy
Aerospace engineers use mass (e.g. IMLEO) as a reliable proxy for space mission costs in space system architecture and trade studies. However, in recent years, the true cost of human space exploration architectures is progressively being decoupled from IMLEO, mainly as a result of reusable rockets, …

Assessing Programmatic Variables and Uncertainties in Space Exploration Campaign Planning
All space exploration programs begin life as a set of requirements, driven by one or more scientific or technological objectives. Historically, the majority of those objectives were achieved using tailor-made spacecraft and systems to deliver their payloads, be they science experiments or astronaut …

Robust Spacecraft Autonomy for Deep Space Exploration in Special Euclidean Group SE(3)
… gained extensive experience conducting manned spaceflight near Earth. Arguably, "near Earth" could even include the Moon — the most distant destination humans have reached. However, "near" in this work primarily refers low Earth orbit (LEO). One could argue that we have not truly left Earth …
