Robotic on-orbit servicing (OOS) is expected to be a key technology and concept for future sustainable space exploration. This paper develops a semi-analytical model for OOS systems analysis, responding to the growing needs and ongoing…

This paper outlines a complete methodology for modeling an on-orbit servicing mission scenario and designing a feedback control system for the attitude dynamics that is guaranteed to robustly meet pointing requirements, despite model…

This paper develops a flexibility management framework for space logistics mission planning under uncertainty through decision rules and multi-stage stochastic programming. It aims to add built-in flexibility to space architectures in the…

This work proposes an adaptation of the Facility Location Problem for the optimal placement of on-orbit servicing depots for satellite constellations in high-altitude orbit. The high-altitude regime, such as Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), is a…

The trend of space commercialization is changing the decision-making process for future space exploration architectures, and there is a growing need for a new decision-making framework that explicitly considers the interactions between the…

As "Space Mobility and Logistics" was listed as one of the five core competencies in the US Space Force's doctrine document, there is a growing interest in developing technologies to enable in-space refueling, servicing, assembly, and…

Production planning must account for uncertainty in a production system, arising from fluctuating demand forecasts. Therefore, this article focuses on the integration of updated customer demand into the rolling horizon planning cycle. We…

Decision problems encountered in practice often possess a highly dynamic and uncertain nature. In particular fast changing forecasts for parameters (e.g., photovoltaic generation forecasts in the context of energy management) pose large…

To build a sustainable and affordable space transportation system for human space exploration, the design and deployment of space infrastructures are critical; one attractive and promising infrastructure system is the in-situ resource…

This paper proposes a maintenance strategy for a satellite constellation that utilizes on-orbit servicing (OOS). Under this strategy, the constellation operator addresses satellite failures in two ways: by deploying new satellites and by…

Spacecraft increasingly rely on heterogeneous computing resources spanning onboard flight computers, orbital data centers, ground station edge nodes, and terrestrial cloud infrastructure. Selecting where a workload should execute is a…

This paper presents an optimization-based receding horizon trajectory planning algorithm for dynamical systems operating in unstructured and cluttered environments. The proposed approach is a two-step procedure that uses a motion planning…

Machine learning in production needs to balance multiple objectives: This is particularly evident in ranking or recommendation models, where conflicting objectives such as user engagement, satisfaction, diversity, and novelty must be…

This paper studies the integrated spacecraft routing and trajectory optimization problem for satellite servicing missions involving partial en-route propellant replenishment. Unlike terrestrial routing problems, spacecraft operate in a…
