Synopsis
This book presents a selection of advanced case studies that cover a substantial range of issues and real-world challenges and applications in space engineering. Vital mathematical modeling and numerical solution aspects of each application case study are presented in detail, with discussions of a range of advanced model development and solution techniques and tools. Space engineering challenges are discussed in the following contexts: *model space vehicle design *computation of optimal low thrust transfers *indirect optimization of spacecraft trajectories *resource-constrained scheduling, *packing problems in space *design of complex interplanetary trajectories *satellite constellation image acquisition *re-entry test vehicle configuration selection *collision risk assessment on perturbed orbits *optimal robust design of hybrid rocket engines *nonlinear regression analysis in space engineering *regression-based sensitivity analysis and robust design *low-thrust multi-revolution orbit transfers *modeling and optimization of balance layout problems *pilot-induced oscillations alleviation *modeling and optimization of hybrid transfers to near-Earth objects *probabilistic safety analysis of the collision between space debris and satellite *flatness-based low-thrust trajectory optimization for spacecraft proximity operations The contributing authors are expert researchers and practitioners in either the space engineering and/or in the applied optimization fields. Researchers and practitioners working in various applied aspects of space engineering will find this book practical and informative. Academics, graduate and post-graduate students in aerospace engineering, applied mathematics, operations research, optimization, and optimal control, will find this book useful.
