Bradley, Nicholas; Bhaskaran, Shyam; Olikara, Zubin; Broschart, Stephen B., 2019, "Navigation accuracy at Jupiter and Saturn using optical observations of planetary satellites", https://hdl.handle.net/2014/49249, 29th AAS/AIAA Space Flight Mechanics Meeting, Ka'anapali, Hawaii, January 13-17, 2019, JPL Open Repository
Autonomous on-board navigation has the potential to enable new types of missions and decrease reliance on NASA’s Deep Space Network for navigation purposes. Previous results have shown that navigating with only optical images of asteroids is feasible for inner planet cruise. In t...
Hybrid chemical-electric trajectories for a Mars Sample Return orbiter
Jan 13, 2019
Laipert, Frank; Nicholas, Austin; Olikara, Zubin; Woolley, Ryan; Lock, Rob, 2019, "Hybrid chemical-electric trajectories for a Mars Sample Return orbiter", https://hdl.handle.net/2014/50381, 29th AAS/AIAA Space Flight Mechanics Meeting, Ka'anapali, Hawaii, January 13-17, 2019, JPL Open Repository
The Earth return orbiter component of a Mars sample return campaign is a high total impulse mission with challenging timeline constraints. These competing demands mean a hybrid chemical-electric propulsion architecture may be needed for a feasible design, with chemical propulsion...
