Description
Low Earth Orbits (LEO), Medium Earth Orbits (MEO), High Earth Orbits (HEO), Geostationary Orbits (GEO); station-keeping; optimization of loitering arcs; computation of drag-free orbits; circular and elliptical orbits around planets and Moons; resonant orbits and fuel-efficient trajectories;
Poincare is a modular trajectory design tool based on a catalog of three-body science orbits and a differential corrector to compute connecting transfer arcs between orbits in multi-body systems. Poincare attempts to offer a unified approach, i.e., an "all-in-one" integrated search within one interface and setup in MONTE (JPL's signature astrodynamic computing platform) The Science Orbit...
Human activity in the space has caused the growth of a very large population of resident space objects (RSO). More than 19,000 objects are currently catalogued by 18th SPCS (former JFSCC) with sizes starting around 10 centimetres in LEO and around 1 metre in GEO. Space debris has nowadays become a very important thread to space operations as high-risk collisions are predicted daily between...
As it’s known that our Sun rises always in the east and sets in the west, similarly, all the stars in the sky also rise in the east and set in the west. But day time, due to sun's brightness, we would not able to see the stars in the sky. Apart from this, there are many other parameters that restrict the observation these celestial objects. A few of those are : Time period of rising and...
The Design Engineering Suite for Earth Observation (DESEO) is a software toolkit to support mission analysis and preliminary system/subsystem design activities for all phases of Earth observation missions.
DESEO has been designed to be used by mission and system engineers throughout all phases of an Earth Observation mission (from Phase 0 to Phase E), whenever they need accurate and fast...
