Trends in space technology development and rapidly increasing traffic in outer space are
likely to lead to the emergence of a market for services for the removal of large debris …

This paper proposes a novel large neighborhood search-adaptive genetic algorithm (LNS-
AGA) for many-to-many on-orbit repairing mission planning of geosynchronous orbit (GEO) …

This paper investigates the global optimization of multispacecraft successive rendezvous
trajectories, which is divided here into three subproblems: target assignment, sequence …

Optimization for active debris removal using multiple spacecraft is investigated. The main
challenge is to determine the rendezvous sequences of the targets considering the J 2 …

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in develo** technologies to enable in-
space refueling, servicing, assembly, and manufacturing as well as other in-space logistics …

SINCE the launch of Sputnik 1, space debris pieces have grown in number and have
gradually become a significant threat to space activities. The Kessler syndrome describes …

Spacecraft automated rendezvous, proximity maneuvering, and docking (ARPOD) play
significant roles in many space missions, including on-orbit servicing and active debris …

ALARGE number of space debris occupy the Earth orbit regions of most interest, mainly in
low Earth orbit (LEO) and geostationary orbit. Operational satellites and manned space …

This article proposes a two-stage optimization framework to simultaneously solve the orbit
design and mission scheduling problems of on-orbit refueling (OOR) systems in Sun …

This article proposes a learning-based robust control scheme for spacecraft proximity
operations under motion constraints (ie, approaching path and sensor field-of-view …
