A New Trajectory Propagation Program for Dspse Mission Support
نویسنده
چکیده
A satellite trajectory propagation program called N-Body is being developed to support the upcoming Deep Space Program Science Experiment (DSPSE) mission which is also known as Clementine. The program will support the activities of the mission operations center which is run by The Naval Research Laboratory. The computer program is designed to predict a spacecraft orbit through the various phases in which the DSPSE vehicle will fly. These orbital phases include low Earth, translunar, lunar, and deep space. The design of N.Body, its functionality, and the mathematical methods it employs are presented.

Adaptive Gravitational Force Representation for Fast Trajectory Propagation Near Small Bodies
We present an approximation scheme for gravitational forces near arbitrarily shaped small bodies. The approximation uses polynomial interpolation with an adaptive spatial data structure near the asteroid and spherical harmonics far from it. These data structures allow us to drive the approximation errors of the model to within userdefined thresholds, while significantly reducing the run time of...
متن کاملLaunch strategy for Indian lunar mission and precision injection to the Moon using genetic algorithm
The Indian lunar mission Chandrayaan-1 will have a mass of 523 kg in a 100 km circular polar orbit around the Moon. The main factors that dictate the design of the Indian Moon mission are to use the present capability of launch vehicles and to achieve the scientific objectives in the minimum development time and cost. The detailed mission planning involves trade-off studies in payload optimizat...
متن کاملA New Knowledge-Based System for Diagnosis of Breast Cancer by a combination of the Affinity Propagation and Firefly Algorithms
Breast cancer has become a widespread disease around the world in young women. Expert systems, developed by data mining techniques, are valuable tools in diagnosis of breast cancer and can help physicians for decision making process. This paper presents a new hybrid data mining approach to classify two groups of breast cancer patients (malignant and benign). The proposed approach, AP-AMBFA, con...

In 2010, the Ministry of Education of one of the most diverse provinces in Canada initiated the implementation of a support program for newcomer students to facilitate their academic, linguistic, social, and cultural adaptation in French speaking schools. This longitudinal multiple case study will document how immigrant parents support their children’s learning, and create a home environment co...
متن کاملNumerical Optimization of ESA's Messenger Space Mission Benchmark
The design and optimization of interplanetary space mission trajectories is known to be a difficult challenge. The trajectory of the Messenger mission (launched by NASA in 2004) is one of the most complex ones ever created. The European Space Agency (ESA) makes available a numerical optimization benchmark which resembles an accurate model of Messengers full mission trajectory. This contribution...
