The present paper extends the classically studied chance-constrained optimal control to
incorporate continuous-time chance constraints. While the classical approaches provide risk …

Orbital capability is a decisive step forward for nanosatellites in general and CubeSats in
particular. Although trajectory maneuvers and their implementation have been thoroughly …

For explorations of the far side of the Moon, it is necessary to tackle the challenge of
navigation and communication as the far side is invisible to the Earth. This paper proposes a …

Many Earth-Moon libration point orbits are being evaluated as candidates for future space
missions, ranging from lunar gateways and possibly inhabited assets in the vicinity of the …

ABSTRACT The Lunar Meteoroid Impact Observer (LUMIO) is a CubeSat mission to
observe, quantify, and characterize the meteoroid impacts by detecting their flashes on the …

Meteoroids constantly impact the Earth–Moon system, posing risks to space assets and
threatening the life on the Earth. By studying lunar surface impacts, detailed information …

This paper highlights the design of the transfer phase of EQUULEUS (EQUilibriUm Lunar-
Earth point 6U Spacecraft), which aims to reach and stay at the Earth-Moon L2 libration point …

For deep-space missions that remain in the vicinity of a target body, solar eclipses might
become a source of major concern due to thermal and power constraints. This paper …
