| Popis: | Space debris is a growing concern for the sustained operation of our satellites. The population in space is continually increasing, both on a gradual basis as new satellites are placed on orbit and in sudden bursts, as evidenced with the recent collision between the Iridium and inactive Cosmos spacecraft. The problem is most severe in densely populated orbit regimes, where many operational satellites face a sustained presence of close-orbiting objects. In general, the frequent occurrence of potential collisions with debris will have a negative impact on mission performance in two important ways. First, repeated avoidance maneuvers diminish fuel and thus reduce mission life. Second, excursions from the nominal orbit during avoidance maneuvers may violate mission requirements or payload constraints. It is therefore important to consider both fuel minimization and station-keeping objectives in the avoidance planning problem. In this paper, we formulate the avoidance maneuver planning problem as a linear prog... |
