OVERVIEW OF THE 12TH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON SPACE FLIGHT DYNAMICS
R.D. Burns - USAF Phillips Laboratory
Abstract
The next international symposium on Space Flight Dynamics to be organized by the European Space Operations Centre's (ESOC) Orbit Attitude Division will give the specialists in the Flight Dynamics field a unique opportunity to present, discuss, and exchange information on various aspects of spacecraft support in the orbit and attitude areas. The symposium will cover all aspects of Space Flight Dynamics with its associated support on ground and on board. It will consist of lectures by invited speakers in the form of survey papers and introduction to special subjects; presentations by Flight Dynamics specialists, selected from the proposals received in response to the call for papers. The three topics to be covered are: Analytical and computational methodsThis may include: estimation methods for orbit and attitude determination; optimization schemes for multiple-burn maneuver strategies; modeling of satellite dynamics behavior (including non-rigid body dynamics); modeling of the space en
Experience in routine and emergency operations This may include: calibration of sensors and actuators; measurement error sources; realistically achievable and absolutely verifiable estimation accuracies; operations for emergency situations and rescue of non-nominal missions.This paper provides a brief overview of the events that occurred at the conference, and discusses
