Computational Methods in Spaceflight Dynamics and Control


Description:
Manuscripts are solicited on topics related to spaceflight mechanics and astrodynamics, including but not limited to: 

  • Analytical and Computational Perturbation Methods for Celestial Mechanics 
  • Dynamical Systems Theory Applied to Celestial Mechanics
  • Computational Challenges Associated with Space Situational Awareness
  • Optimal Estimation and Probabilistic Methods in Astrodynamics 
  • Spacecraft Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC)
  • Computational Methods to Design Optimal Trajectories for Space Missions 
  • Rendezvous, Relative Motion, Proximity Missions, and Formation Flying
  • Orbital Debris and Space Environment
  • Constellation Design and Optimization 

The symposium will have about 30 paper presentations; 4 of which will be KEYNOTE PAPERS (40 minutes each), 6 INVITED (25 minutes each), and about 20 other INVITED presentations of 20 minutes duration each, with a mix of senior as well as upcoming researchers. All 30 papers will initially be INVITED and the evaluation of the abstracts will be evaluated and selected for 40, 25 or 20 minutes presentations. Either abstracts for presentation-only papers or full-length papers will be considered.

Keywords:
  • astrodynamics
  • spaceflight mechanics
  • optimal control
  • estimation
  • rendezvouz and proximity operations
  • orbital debris
  • space situational awareness
