Spacecraft Formation Flying

Dynamics, Control and Navigation

by Pini Gurfil, Louis Breger, Kyle Alfriend, Srinivas Rao Vadali, Jonathan How ...

Space agencies are now realizing that much of what has previously been achieved using hugely complex and costly single platform projects—large unmanned and manned satellites (including the present International Space Station)—can be replaced by a number of smaller satellites networked together. The key challenge of this approach, namely ensuring the proper formation flying of multiple craft, is ... Read more

Trajectory Anomalies in Interplanetary Spacecraft

A Method for Determining Accelerations Due to Thermal Emissions and New Mission Proposals

by Frederico Francisco ...

Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
This thesis presents fundamental work that explains two mysteries concerning the trajectory of interplanetary spacecraft. For the first problem, the so-called Pioneer anomaly, a wholly new and innovative method was developed for computing all contributions to the acceleration due to onboard thermal sources. Through a careful analysis of all parts of the spacecraft Pioneer 10 and 11, the ... Read more
