DikpolaSat Mission: Improvement of Space Flight Performance and Optimal Control Using Trained Deep Neural Network -- Trajectory Controller for Space Objects Collision Avoidance

This paper introduced the space mission DikpolaSat Mission, how this research fits into the mission, and the importance of having a trained DNN model instead of the usual GN&C functionality. This paper shows how the controller demonstration is carried out by having the spacecraft follow a desired path, specified in the referenced model. Increases can be made by examining the route used to construct a DNN and understanding the effects of various activating functions on system efficiency. The obstacle avoidance algorithm is built into the control features to respond spontaneously using inputs from the neural network for collision avoidance while optimizing the modified trajectory. The action of a neural network to control the adaptive nature of the nonlinear mechanisms in the controller will make the control system capable of handling multiple nonlinear events and also uncertainties that have not been induced in the control algorithm. Multiple algorithms for optimizing flight controls and fuel consumption can be implemented using knowledge of flight dynamics in trajectory and also in the event of obstacle avoidance. This paper also explains how a DNN can learn to control the flight path and make the system more reliable with each launch, thereby improving the chances of predicting collisions of space objects. The data released from this research is used to design more advanced DNN model capable of predicting other orbital events as well.

Avancee-1 Mission and SaDoD Method: LiDAR-based stimulated atomic disintegration of space debris using Optical Neural Networks

The surface degradation of satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) is affected by Atomic Oxygen (AO) and varies depending on the spacecraft orbital parameters. Atomic oxygen initiates several chemical and physical reactions with materials and produces erosion and self-disintegration of the debris at high energy. This paper discusses Avancee-1 Mission, LiDAR-based space debris removal using Optical Neural Networks (ONN) to optimize debris detection and mission accuracy. The SaDoD Method is a Stimulated Atomic Disintegration of Orbital Debris, which in this case has been achieved using LiDAR technology and Optical Neural Networks. We propose Optical Neural Network algorithms with a high ability of image detection and classification. The results show that orbital debris has a higher chance of disintegration when the laser beam is coming from Geostationary Orbit (GEO) satellites and in the presence of high solar activities. This paper proposes a LiDAR-based space debris removal method depending on the variation of atomic oxygen erosion with orbital parameters and solar energy levels. The results obtained show that orbital debris undergoes the most intense degradation at low altitudes and higher temperatures. The satellites in GEO use Optical Neural Network algorithms for object detection before sending the laser beams to achieve self-disintegration. The SaDoD Method can be implemented with other techniques, but especially for the Avancee-1 Mission, the SaDoD was implemented with LiDAR technologies and Optical Neural Network algorithms.

Implementation of Artificial Neural Networks for the Nepta-Uranian Interplanetary (NUIP) Mission

A celestial alignment between Neptune, Uranus, and Jupiter will occur in the early 2030s, allowing a slingshot around Jupiter to gain enough momentum to achieve planetary flyover capability around the two ice giants. The launch of the uranian probe for the departure windows of the NUIP mission is between January 2030 and January 2035, and the duration of the mission is between six and ten years, and the launch of the Nepta probe for the departure windows of the NUIP mission is between February 2031 and April 2032 and the duration of the mission is between seven and ten years. To get the most out of alignment, deep learning methods are expected to play a critical role in autonomous and intelligent spatial guidance problems. This would reduce travel time, hence mission time, and allow the spacecraft to perform well for the life of its sophisticated instruments and power systems up to fifteen years. This article proposes a design of deep neural networks, namely convolutional neural networks and recurrent neural networks, capable of predicting optimal control actions and image classification during the mission. Nepta-Uranian interplanetary mission, using only raw images taken by optimal onboard cameras. It also describes the unique requirements and constraints of the NUIP mission, which led to the design of the communications system for the Nepta-Uranian spacecraft. The proposed mission is expected to collect telemetry data on Uranus and Neptune while performing the flyovers and transmit the obtained data to Earth for further analysis. The advanced range of spectrometers and particle detectors available would allow better quantification of the ice giant's properties.

Prediction of Apophis Asteroid Flyby Optimal Trajectories and Data Fusion of Earth-Apophis Mission Launch Windows using Deep Neural Networks

In recent years, understanding asteroids has shifted from light worlds to geological worlds by exploring modern spacecraft and advanced radar and telescopic surveys. Apophis' near-Earth. However, flyby in 2029 will be an opportunity to conduct an internal geophysical study and test the current hypothesis on the effects of tidal forces on asteroids. The Earth-Apophis mission is driven by additional factors and scientific goals beyond the unique opportunity for natural experimentation. However, the internal geophysical structures remain largely unknown. Understanding the strength and internal integrity of asteroids is not just a matter of scientific curiosity. It is a practical imperative to advance knowledge for planetary defense against the possibility of an asteroid impact. The mounting of theoretical studies and physical evidence of tidal forces altering the shapes, spins, and surfaces of near-Earth asteroids indicates that these Earth-Apophis interactions are fundamental to the problem of asteroid risk as impact studies themselves. This paper presents a conceptual robotics system required for efficiency at every stage from entry to post-landing and for asteroid monitoring. In short, asteroid surveillance missions are futuristic frontiers, with the potential for technological growth that could revolutionize space exploration. Advanced space technologies and robotic systems are needed to minimize risk and prepare these technologies for future missions. A neural network model is implemented to track and predict asteroids' orbits. Advanced algorithms are also needed to numerically predict orbital events to minimize errors.
