The density of the upper atmosphere can be determined by orbit and accelerometer data
from low Earth orbit satellites as insitu measurements along the orbit. One main challenge …

This study focuses on utilizing the increasing availability of satellite trajectory data from
global navigation satellite system‐enabled low‐Earth orbiting satellites and their precision …

Satellites in very low Earth orbits can leverage the aerodynamics forces for control purposes.
Three-axis attitude control can be achieved by adjusting the orientation of aerodynamic …

This paper is devoted to the probabilistic uncertainty quantification of orbital lifetime
estimation of low-altitude satellites. Specifically, given a detailed characterization of the …

Satellite drag-coefficient is a highly dynamic parameter that captures the physics of the
interactions between the atmosphere and the satellite surface. Physical models, known as …

Cold Atom technology has undergone rapid development in recent years and has been
demonstrated in space in the form of cold atom scientific experiments and technology …

From satellite navigation to weather forecasting, the use of space technology is an
increasingly fruitful part of our everyday lives. A growing contingent of commercial …

Differential drag is a promising option to control the in-plane relative motion of satellites
which are not equipped with dedicated thrusting devices. In this paper, a powerful optimal …

In most satellite tracking operations, the gravitational field is truncated at a degree and order
based on their average effects on the motion of the satellite. Even though the contribution of …

The possibility to reconfigure satellite formations with utilization of the drag and the solar
radiation pressure has been established with previous works. Passive formation …
