Four students from the Space Flight Projects Laboratory attended the 29th Space Flight Mechanics Meeting along with Professor Spencer to present papers on topics ranging from space traffic management to Neptune aerocapture guidance.
The conference was hosted by the American Astronautical Society and held January 13-17 in Ka’anapali, Maui, Hawaii. The titles of the papers and their SFPL presenters were:
Investigation of Direct Force Control for Planetary Aerocapture at Neptune
Rohan Deshmukh
Swarm Optimization of Lunar Transfers with Radiation Dose Constraints
Justin Mansell
An Initial Analysis of Automating Conjunction Assessment and Collision Avoidance Planning In Space Traffic Management
Jannuel Cabrera
Spacecraft Formations Using Artificial Potential Functions and Relative Orbital Elements
Sylvain Renevey
Congratulations to Justin Mansell, who won the American Astronautical Society’s John V. Breakwell travel award to present his paper at the conference. The students would also like to thank the Purdue Graduate Student Government as well as the Purdue School of Aeronautics and Astronautics for assisting them with the cost of travel to this exciting conference venue. The talks were all very well received and the lab expects to seek journal publications regarding the research.
