A distributed attitude control law for formation flying based on the Cucker-smale model
Paita, Fabrizio; Gómez Muntané, Gerard; Masdemont Soler, Josep
In this paper we consider the attitude synchronization problem for a swarm of spacecrafts flying in formation.
Starting from previous works on consensus dynamics, we construct a distributed attitude control law and derive analytically
sufficient conditions for the formation to converge asymptotically towards a synchronized, non–accelerating state (possibly defined a priori). Moreover, motivated by the results obtained on a particular consensus model, first introduced by F. Cucker and S. Smale to modellize the translational dynamics of flocks, we numerically explore
the dependence of the convergence process on the dimension of the formation and the relative initial conditions of the spacecrafts. Finally, we generalize the class of weights defined by the previous authors in order to dampen the aforementioned effects, thus making our control law suitable for very large formations.

Es bien conocido el potencial que tiene el uso del e-portfolio del estudiante para hacer visible tanto para el mismo como para los demás, de cómo y hasta que nivel ha logrado sus objetivos.
Para realizar un e-portafolio se pueden utilizar distintas aplicaciones, entre ellas se encuentran Google Sites y Mahara.
Google Sites permite de forma sencilla editando una plantilla previamente preparada por el profesor, crear una página web como muestra de sus trabajos desarrollados a lo largo de sus estudios.
Mahara es un sistema de e-portafolio que puede conectarse a Moodle y el cual puede ser controlado por el estudiante y puede ser visible por el grupo. Debido a la interoperabilidad de Mahara especialmente con Moodle, este permite que desde la plataforma de Atenea se puedan interconectar el profesorado con el e-portafolio del estudiante.
En este trabajo presentamos los resultados obtenidos desde el año 2011 hasta la actualidad en las investigaciones realizadas sobre el e-portafolio en el marco de la Universidad Politècnica de Catalunya.

In this paper we consider two models of concatenated convolutional codes from
the perspective of linear systems theory. We present an input-state-output representation of these models
and we study the conditions for control properties as controllability, observability as well as output observability.

On the cucker-smale flocking model applied to a formation moving in a central force field around the Earth
Paita, Fabrizio; Gomez Muntaner, Gerard; Masdemont Soler, Josep
The Cucker – Smale (CS) flocking model is an interacting particles control system where every particle adjusts
its dynamics according to a weighted average between its velocity and those of the other elements of the flock.
Under this model, a rigid body configuration can be achieved exponentially fast for suitable initial configurations.
Furthermore, as shown by J. Shen, if the dynamics of the formation is driven by the presence of a free willed leader
then similar asymptotic results can be obtained. In the present paper we extend the CS control law in the context of a
multi – spacecraft system moving around a central body. Some new analytical results are given, as well as the results
of the numerical explorations that have been done to evaluate the performances of the control law, with particular
attention to its interaction with a central gravitational field. These performances have been evaluated mainly through
the use of two indicators: the evolution of the relative spacecrafts distances and the total fuel expended to maintain
the formation.

Diversas versiones de la opérada de cactus inicialmente definida por Voronov han sido estudiadas. Es conocida su equivalencia débil con la opérada de pequeños discos. Se conoce pues que la opérada de cactus admite una acción de la opérada de Gerstenhaber salvo homotopía. En este proyecto, nuestro objetivo es obtener una realización explícita de dicha acción. Por el momento, hemos construido una acción explícita de la opérada A8 en la opérada de cactus, que presentamos en este póster

Jet Transport propagation of uncertainties for orbits around the Earth
Pérez, Daniel; Masdemont Soler, Josep; Gómez Muntané, Gerard
In this paper we present a tool to study the non-linear propagation of uncertainties for orbits around the Earth.
The tool we introduce is known as Jet Transport and allows to propagate full neighborhoods of initial states instead of
a single initial state by means of usual numerical integrators. The description of the transported neighborhood is ob-
tained in a semi-analytical way by means of polynomials in 6 variables. These variables correspond to displacements
in the phase space from the reference point selected in an orbit as initial condition. The basis of the procedure is a
standard numerical integrator of ordinary differential equations (such as a Runge-Kutta or a Taylor method) where
the usual arithmetic is replaced by a polynomial arithmetic. In this way, the solution of the variational equations is
also obtained up to high order. This methodology is applied to the propagation of satellite trajectories and to the
computation of images of uncertainty ellipsoids including high order nonlinear descriptions. The procedure can be
specially adapted to the determination of collision probabilities with catalogued space debris or for the end of life
