CubeSats offer a flexible and low-cost option to increase the scientific and technological
return of small-body exploration missions. ESA's Hera mission, the European component of …

The dynamical environment in the close-proximity of small celestial bodies is characterized
by a very weak and irregular gravity field. In this low-acceleration deep-space environment …

This paper focuses on the use of meta-reinforcement learning for the autonomous guidance
of a spacecraft during the terminal phase of an impact mission toward a binary asteroid …

This paper deals with the problem of map** unknown small celestial bodies while
autonomously navigating in their proximity with an optical camera. A Deep Reinforcement …

The development of dedicated numerical codes has recently pushed forward the study of N-
body gravitational dynamics, leading to a better and wider understanding of processes …

The dynamics of a CubeSat orbiting a binary asteroid system can be quite complex due to
the irregular gravitational fields of the two bodies and the significant effect of the Solar …

Small bodies environment is usually difficult to be modelled for a number of reasons. Among
the others, the uncertainty associated to the non-uniform gravitational field requires in-situ …
