We would like to invite you to join this exciting new project as a chapter contributor on one of the topics listed below. Since this is a textbook, a great deal of this chapter entails a survey on the topic under the paradigm of... more
This paper presents a new, simple, and exact solution to the formation keeping of satellites when the relative distance between the satellites is so large that the linearized relative equations of motion no longer hold. We employ a... more
This paper presents an analytic solution to the optimal reconfiguration problem of satellite formation flying in J2 orbital perturbation. Continuous and variable low-thrust accelerations are represented by the Fourier series, and initial... more
A simple analytical approach for formation-keeping of satellites in the presence of both orbital and attitude requirements is developed. A leader satellite is assumed to be in a J2-perturbed circular reference orbit and each follower... more
In order to face numerous challenges in the autonomous control of relative position in space, this work proposes an introduction and critical comparison of three different approaches to adaptive control. Uncertainties coming from unknown... more
The current paper presents simple and general analytic solutions to the optimal reconfiguration of multiple satellites governed by a variety of linear dynamic equations. The calculus of variations is used to analytically find optimal... more
The “sonic region” of the Sun corona remains extremely difficult to observe with spatial resolution and sensitivity sufficient to understand the fine scale phenomena that govern the quiescent solar corona, as well as phenomena that lead... more
In this paper the vibration suppression of a flexible structure using fuzzy controller with bonded piezoelements is investigated. A flexible beam with PZT piezoceramics as sensor and actuators is fabricated at the Advanced Dynamic and... more
The current paper presents application of a new analytic solution in general relative motion to spacecraft formation flying in an elliptic orbit. The calculus of variations is used to analytically find optimal trajectories and controls... more
The current paper presents and examines a general analytical solution to the optimal reconfiguration problem of satellite formation flying in an arbitrary elliptic orbit. The proposed approach does not use any simplifying assumptions... more
