Angles-Only Initial Relative-Orbit Determination via Successive Maneuvers

Hebert, Laura (2016-04-29)

For relative-orbit determination using linear, Cartesian dynamics, angles-only measurements are not sufficient. A known, impulsive maneuver performed by either the observer or resident space object can provide observability. ...

Dynamics and Control of Satellite Relative Motion in Elliptic Orbits using Lyapunov-Floquet Theory

Sherrill, Ryan (2013-04-23)

Rendezvous and proximity operations involving satellites operating near each other have been performed since the Gemini missions. A better understanding of the dynamics of satellites in close proximity could be helpful ...
