Flexibility, despite its popularity, is not yet an academically mature concept–compared with
optimality and robustness, for example. Flexibility is nevertheless recognised as a critical …

SPACE systems are still the only complex engineering systems without maintenance, repair,
and upgrade infrastructure. One-of-a-kind, reliable, and expensive spacecraft, designed for …

On-orbit servicing (OOS) presents new opportunities for refueling, inspection, repair,
maintenance, and upgrade of spacecraft (s/c). OOS missions for s/c in a geostationary orbit …

Requirements are rarely static, and are ever more likely to evolve as the development time
of a system stretches out and its service life increases. In this paper, we discuss the …

Small satellite link performance analysis is critical for assessing the adequacy of a
transmitter to successfully transfer data at the desired rate. This is especially obvious when …

This paper introduces a new approach to the study of artificial equilibrium points in the
circular restricted three-body problem for propulsion systems with continuous and purely …

Requirements are rarely static, and are ever more likely to evolve as the development time

Laser cooling in solids is a breakthrough technology allowing vibration-free cooling down to
a temperature of 100 K in a miniaturized way. It appears as a promising technology to …

Spacecraft systems have undergone tremendous system-level transformations following
advances in subsubsystems, subsystems, and systems designs and technologies …
