An investigation on space debris of unknown origin using proper elements and neural networks

D Wu, AJ Rosengren - Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy, 2023 - Springer
Proper elements represent a dynamical fingerprint of an object's inherent state and have
been used by small-body taxonomists in characterizing asteroid families. Being linked to the …

Heterogeneous surface multisphere models using method of moments foundations

JA Hughes, H Schaub - Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets, 2019 - arc.aiaa.org
Spacecraft can charge naturally to tens of kilovolts in geosynchronous orbit due to their
interactions with the space plasma and the sun. This charging causes forces and torques …

[PDF][PDF] Statistical orbit determination using the ensemble kalman filter

E Gamper, C Kebschull, E Stoll - Acta Astronaut, 2018 - conference.sdo.esoc.esa.int
ABSTRACT A large number of resident space objects (RSO) is located in Earth's vicinity.
Today, 19206 RSOs, thereof 2027 are active satellites, are trackable. Nevertheless, the …

Lorentz Force Effects on Orbit and Lifetime of Micrometer-Size Space Debris

K Akari, K Hoshi, H Yamakawa - Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets, 2019 - arc.aiaa.org
In this Paper, through an orbital calculation using a developed orbital model, the effects of
the Lorentz force on micrometer-size debris are studied from two perspectives: orbital …
