Extremal Field Maps for Maneuverable Satellites: Reachability Analysis for Space Situational Awareness

Abstract

This grant is a continuation of research funded under a previous grant. This work will test the limits of the Picard iteration as a means of solving the equations of motion for satellites and optimize the code. In addition, a solution will be found to calculate the optimal parameters for a satellite to change orbit using the methods developed in the last grant.
