The use of regional-coverage satellite constellations is on the rise, urging the need for an
optimal constellation design method for complex regional coverage. Traditional …

This paper presents an integrated framework to design a flexible multi-stage
telecommunication satellite configuration deployment strategy considering the uncertainties …

Abstract Flower Constellations (FCs) have been extensively studied for use in optimal
constellation design. The Harmonic FCs (HFCs) subset, representing the symmetric …

State-of-the-art weather forecasting systems depend on a variety of data collected by
airborne, orbiting, and ground sensors. Regional CubeSat constellations have the potential …

Space-based persistent surveillance provides decision makers with information necessary
to effectively respond to both natural and man-made crises. This thesis investigates a …

Constellation reconfiguration consists of transforming an initial constellation of satellites into
some final constellation of satellites to maintain system optimality. Constellations with …

The theory of Flower Constellations consists of a general methodology to design axial-
symmetric satellite constellations whose satellites all move on the same trajectory with …

The development of oceanography and meteorology has greatly benefited from satellite-
based data of Earth's atmosphere and ocean. Traditional Earth observation missions have …

In this study, we investigated the design methods of satellite constellations to conduct near-
real-time surveillance reconnaissance of the Korean Peninsula. Also, we designed satellite …

The advantages of the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite include low‐latency communications,
shorter positioning time, higher positioning accuracy, and lower launching, building, and …
