In Earth orbiting space missions, the orbit selection dictates the mission parameters like the
ground resolution, the area coverage, and the frequency of coverage parameters. To …

There is significant value in the data collected by satellites during and after a natural
disaster. The current operating paradigm in practice is for satellites to passively collect data …

The problem of optimal design of a multi-gravity-assist space trajectories, with free number
of deep space maneuvers (MGADSM) poses multi-modal cost functions. In the general form …

This study considers a satellite orbit design when a given set of target sites needs to be
visited within an assigned period. Optimization of the orbit design takes into account target …

Forest fires cause a significant amount of damage and destruction each year. Optimally
dispatching resources reduces the amount of damage a forest fire can cause. Models predict …
