Space debris is a major concern over the space that occurred in the present day as an ever-growing orbital population. To eliminate a space debris object from its orbit, many techniques have been proposed. This space debris is accumulating at a high rate and chances of damaging working satellites are quite possible. So, it is essential and necessar...

Shepherd satellite is equipped with a propulsion system which emits a highly collimated quasi-neutral plasma beam with huge momentum towards space debris. Neutralized plasma beam technique is used to circumvent the net charge on satellite and spacecraft. This gives a competent technique for contactless space debris removal [53]. ...

The main objective of this paper is to draw attention to the uncontrolled reentry of orbital debris (non-operational spacecrafts and derelict launch vehicle stages-rocket bodies). Uncontrolled reentry of orbital debris poses a risk to the Earth population and the environment. The following paper will present the results of ground-based optical obse...

In this study, new analytical solutions to the equations of motion of a propelled spacecraft are investigated using a shape-based approach. There is an assumption that the spacecraft travels a two-dimensional spiral trajectory in which the orbital radius is proportional to an assigned power of the spacecraft angular coordinate. The exact solution t...

The aim of the project is to design and model the attitude dynamics of a 3U CubeSat orbiting around the Earth. The purpose of the spacecraft is to achieve inertial pointing exploiting sensors and actuators installed onboard. The mission can be divided into 3 phases: de-tumbling, re-pointing (slew manoeuvre) and tracking (3-axis stabilization).
