Description Define and verify through analysis the safety strategy to be implemented in a mission of a small satellite involved in proximity operations and rendezvous and docking manoeuvres with a collaborative operative spacecraft.
Main points:
• Analysis of state of the art and definition of the system requirements
• Definition of the safety strategy for nominal and off-nominal conditions (i.e. system failures or incorrect trajectory or attitude) considering the constraints deriving from the actual small satellite technology
• Definition of the mathematical problem and definition of the detailed simulation models, including dynamics and kinematics aspects and uncertainties on the system elements. Reference software Matlab and, in case, STK.
• Building of an advanced simulation environment that enables the assessment of the system performance and the verification of the requirements
• Identification of the best strategies for nominal and off-nominal conditions
Note: the thesis is carried out in the framework of the SROC project funded by the European Space Agency
Required skills Space Systems, Satellites dynamics and controls, trajectory analysis.
