Periodic Reporting for period 1 - SmartCloudsODC (SmartClouds Orbital Dynamics and Control)

Teaser

Summary

The objective of the project is to deliver radical new methodologies for orbital dynamics and control of multi-spacecraft systems to investigate new easy-accessible space-based products and services for Europe.

Thanks to the advanced in Miniaturised Electromechanical Systems technology, a new class of lowcost, low-risk space missions, based on multiple cooperative elements, is arising. Assuming smart-clouds of vast numbers of
femto-spacecraft, this project intends to move from the classic (deterministic celestial mechanics approach) to a new paradigm in space mission design, based on stochastic analyses of the agents in the cloud.

Through an excellent inter/multi-disciplinary training team, the purpose is to offer novel research methodologies and solutions to orbital dynamics problems including real-world uncertainties. Moreover, with an inter-sectorial secondment with a highly specialized SME company in space mission design at large, it wants to generate an ensemble of knowledge and resources to test and to fully develop this potential.

A main objective is to enhance capabilities and to devise new space concepts in clouds of femto-spacecraft in order to broad space-access to a wider European userâ€™s community, also beyond the Aerospace sector, at extremely low-cost.

Work performed

During the short effective duration of the project (in the order of a month due to long suspension periods) the work performed was associated with collecting literature for review and to determine the state of the art. No relevant result has been achieved.
