Coverage characteristics of hurricane monitoring CubeSat constellations under orbital perturbations
(AIAA, 2022-01-03)Miniaturized precipitation radars deployed on CubeSats have the potential to significantly improve hurricane forecasting by collecting measurements over data-starved regions and by complementing the existing sensor ... -
An efficient algorithm for the longitude-targeted ascent of all-electric satellites
(AIAA SCITECH, 2021-12-29)This paper considers the ascent-to-slot problem of an electrically propelled geostationary satellite. In contrast to the widely-studied electric orbit transfer problem, the present work is concerned about the rendezvous ... -

Mission scenario analysis for all-electric satellites
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc., 2018-01-08)In this paper, we consider the problem of orbit-raising of all-electric satellites deployed in the geosynchronous equatorial orbit (GEO). We present an optimization framework that incorporates a novel dynamic model of a ... -
Regional CubeSat constellation design to monitor hurricanes
(IEEE, 2021-11-13)State-of-the-art weather forecasting systems depend on a variety of data collected by airborne, orbiting, and ground sensors. Regional CubeSat constellations have the potential to improve hurricane forecasting by collecting ...
