Research Areas

Current research efforts include 1) analytic theory and control of spinning-up and thrusting vehicles, 2) mission design and trajectory design for interplanetary flight, 3) orbit decay and reentry problems, and 4) tethers in space.

In 1) breakthroughs were achieved earlier at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the analysis of the Galileo spacecraft maneuvers. The current goal is to extend this work to a general analytic theory (which provides solutions for angular velocity, the attitude, the angular momentum vector and the translational velocity of rigid and elastic bodies subject to arbitrary body-fixed torques and forces) and to develop control laws based on the analytic theory.

In 2) mission design tools developed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory have been acquired for research use at Purdue. Both theoretical and computational techniques are being employed to analyze the delta V gravity-assist problem in terms of identifying potential trajectories (such as the Voyager Grand Tour and the Galileo VEEGA) and optimizing the launch energy and propellant requirements for these trajectories.

In 3) analytic solutions have been obtained for the probability of immediate reentry and of orbit decay, as well as escape, in the event of misdirected interplanetary injection maneuvers occurring at low earth orbit. The solutions have relevance to safety issues involving nuclear power plants aboard deep space probes.

In 4) the feasibility of using tethers for aerobraking has been demonstrated. The basic idea is to connect an orbiter and a probe together by a long tether, for missions to planets with atmospheres. The probe enters the atmosphere and is used to reduce the hyperbolic speed of the orbiter to capture speed, thus eliminating the large retro maneuver normally required. New issues being addressed include analysis of the flexible tether, tether guidance and control, and spacecraft (endpoint) attitude control.
