CloudSat, now in its 13th year on orbit, has employed various strategies over its lifetime to compensate for a weakened battery and the loss of a reaction wheel. The creative efforts required to keep the mission going have been documented in a number

Since joining the A-Train in May 2006, CloudSat actively maintained its orbit and flew in tight formation with CALIPSO. On April 17th of 2011 CloudSat experienced a severe battery anomaly which caused the vehicle to fault into a passive but power pos

Since joining the A-Train in May 2006, CloudSat actively maintained its orbit and flew in tight formation with CALIPSO. This required CloudSat to perform orbit maintenance burns approximately every two to three weeks and to also perform larger inclin

Knowledge of the observable properties of orbital debris is necessary to validate debris models for both the low Earth orbit (LEO) and the geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO). Current methods determine the size and mass of orbital debris based on knowle

Over the past several years, the interest in orbital debris has grown because of the hazard it poses to operating satellites. Models of the debris environment depend on accurate assessments of the masses and sizes of debris particles. Utilizing data

From hitting a comet to long-term observations to find and characterize extrasolar planets, the spacecraft platform pointing accuracy and stability are fundamental. We describe the pointing requirements for Deep Impact, Kepler, and future extrasolar
