Low-thrust electric propulsion system has drawn increasing attention from researchers
because of its high propellant efficiency. The reachable domain of low-thrust spacecraft can …

LOW-THRUST trajectory optimization, as a specialization of the optimal control problem, has
always been a challenge for no analytical solution exists. Many numerical methods are …

The conventional reachable domain problem for satellites with a single impulse under the
ideal two-body dynamical environment was extended to a more realistic scenario that takes …

Reachable sets are sets of position states that the spacecraft can reach from its initial state
under mass and time constraints. In this study, a method to solve the reachable set of …

Increasingly frequent launch activities, as well as the development of mega constellations,
would cause a drastic increase in the number of space objects, which will then alter the …

This paper develops a new approach to solve the reachable domain of a spacecraft with a
single maximum available impulse. First, the distance in a chosen direction, started from a …

Accurately modeling the evolution of debris clouds from satellite breakups is necessary for
assessing the collision risk to space assets. Generally, the evolution of debris clouds can be …

Conventional reachable domain (RD) problem with an admissible velocity increment, Δv, in
an isotropic distribution, was extended to the general case with Δv in an anisotropic …

SINCE the 1960s, planet and asteroid explorations have always been a focus due to their
great scientific significance. Such exploration missions can be divided by their objectives …

The increasing frequency of human launches has led to a dramatic increase in the amount
of space debris, especially near sun-synchronous orbits. Most of the fragments are small in …
