Bandlimited implicit Runge–Kutta integration for Astrodynamics
We describe a new method for numerical integration, dubbed bandlimited collocation implicit Runge–Kutta (BLC-IRK), and compare its efficiency in propagating orbits to existing techniques commonly used in Astrodynamics. The BLC-IRK scheme uses generalized Gaussian quadratures for bandlimited functions. This new method allows us to use significantly fewer force function evaluations than explicit ...
متن کاملOrthogonal Polynomial Approximation in Higher Dimensions: Applications in Astrodynamics
In this paper, we unify classical results from function approximation theory and consider their utility in astrodynamics. Least square approximation, using the classical Chebyshev polynomials as basis functions, is reviewed for discrete samples of the to-be-approximated function. We extend the method to n-dimensions in a novel way, through the use of array algebra and Kronecker operations. Appr...
متن کاملMicro-to-Macro: Astrodynamics at Extremes of Length-scale
This paper investigates astrodynamics at extremes of length-scale, ranging from swarms of future ‘smart dust’ devices to the capture and utilisation of small near Earth asteroids. At the smallest length-scales families of orbits are found which balance the energy gain from solar radiation pressure with energy dissipation due to air drag. This results in long orbit lifetimes for high area-to-mas...
متن کاملAas 12-216 a New Numerical Integration Technique in Astrodynamics
This paper describes a new method of numerical integration and compares its efficiency in propagating orbits to existing techniques commonly used in astrodynamics. By using generalized Gaussian quadratures for bandlimited functions, the implicit Runge-Kutta scheme (a collocation method) allows us to use significantly fewer force function evaluations than other integrators. The new method comput...
متن کاملAIAA/AAS Astrodynamics Specialist Conference Small Satellite Operations Model to Assess Data and Energy Flows
This paper introduces a mathematical model describing the energy and information systems for small satellite mission architectures. We introduce an analytic satellite model, represented by realistic constraints on the available energy, link characteristics, and data and energy storage capacity on-board a small spacecraft. This paper aims to identify the interaction of energy and information flo...
