A distributed attitude control law for formation flying based on the Cucker-smale model
(2014)
Conference report
Open AccessIn 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 ... -
A motivating exploration on lunar craters and low-energy dynamics in the Earth–Moon system
(2010-06)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIt is known that most of the craters on the surface of the Moon were created by the collision of minor bodies of the Solar System. Main Belt Asteroids, which can approach the terrestrial planets as a consequence of ... -
A new subdivision algorithm for the flow propagation using polynomial algebras
(2018-08-01)
Article
Open AccessThe Jet Transport method has emerged as a powerful tool for the numerical integration of ordinary differential equations; it uses polynomial expansions to approximate the flow map associated to the differential equation ... -

A note on the dynamics around the L1,2 Lagrange points of the Earth-Moon system in a complete solar system model
(2012)
Conference report
Open AccessThe purpose of this paper is the study of the phase space around the collinear libration points L1 and L2 of the Earth–Moon system when the gravitational effects of the remaining bodies of the Solar System are taken into ... -
A note on the dynamics around the Lagrange collinear points of the Earth-Moon system in a complete Solar System model
(2013-02)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this paper we study the dynamics of a massless particle around the L 1,2 libration points of the Earth–Moon system in a full Solar System gravitational model. The study is based on the analysis of the quasi-periodic ... -

Conference report
Open AccessThis paper studies the dynamics of a massless particle around the libration points of the Earth - Moon system in a full Solar System gravitational model. The study is based on the analysis of the quasi - periodic ... -
A picture of solar-sail heteroclinic enhanced connections between Lissajous libration point orbits
(2020-03-09)
Article
Open AccessThe dynamics of solar-sail maneuvers are conceptually different from classical control maneuvers where one considers impulsive changes in the velocity of a spacecraft. Solar-sail orbits are continuous in both position and ... -
A stroboscopic control for the confinement of swarms in a spherical domain around the Earth
(2017)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policySwarms of spacecraft are an idea that has been growing in interest in the last few years. This work focuses on the strategies and costs for the maintenance of a swarm of a large number of spacecraft in a close neighborhood ... -
An adaptive remeshing procedure for proximity maneuvering spacecraft formations
(2012)
Article
Open AccessWe consider a methodology to optimally obtain reconfigurations of spacecraft formations. It is based on the discretization of the time interval in subintervals (called the mesh) and the obtainment of local solutions on ... -
An efficient statistical adaptive order-switching methodology for kalman filters
(2021-02)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyVariants and improvements of the extended Kalman filter (EKF) always encounter a dilemma between the estimation accuracy delivered and the computational burden associated. Targeting to improve this shortcoming, achieving ... -
Analysis of jet transport-based geostationary trajectory uncertainty propagation

Analysis of the relative dynamics of a charged spacecraft moving under the influence of a magnetic field
(2018-09-01)
Article
Open AccessWe analyse a dynamical scenario where a constantly charged spacecraft (follower) moves in the vicinity of another one (leader) that follows a circular Keplerian orbit around the Earth and generates a rotating magnetic ... -
Capturing small asteroids into a Sun-Earth Lagrangian point
(2014-02-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this paper we address the feasibility of capturing small Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs) into the vicinity of the Sun-Earth L-2 libration point using a continuous-thrust propulsion system assumed to be attached to the ... -
Capturing small asteroids into Sun-Earth Lagrangian points for mining purposes
(2012)
Conference report
Open AccessThe aim of this paper is to study the capture of small Near Earth Objects (NEOs) into the Sun-Earth L2 using low-thrust propulsion for mining or science purposes. As it is well known, the vicinity of these points is inside ... -

Book
Restricted access to the UPC academic communityEl llibre Càlcul numèric conté les eines i bases fonamentals dels algotimes de computació. La seva presentació, exempta de formalismes excessivament teòrics, el fa molt adequat per al lector que, sense voler aprofundir ... -
Com les Varietats Invariants formen Espirals i Anells en Galàxies barrades
(2014)
Article
Open AccessL'espectacularitat de les galàxies barrades consisteix no solament en la presència de la barra, allargada en el centre de la galàxia, sinó també en els braços espirals o anells que es desenvolupen en les parts exteriors. ... -
Computation of analytical solutions of the relative motion about a Keplerian elliptic orbit
(2012-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe purpose of this paper is to obtain a third-order expression, for the in-plane and out-of-plane amplitudes, of the solutions of the elliptic Hill–Clohessy–Wiltshire non-linear equations. The resulting third-order solution ... -
