›Astrodynamics Specialist Conference

The technical sessions will cover a wide spectrum of current topics in astrodynamics and spaceflight mechanics, including:

• Asteroid and non-Earth orbiting missions
• Atmospheric re-entry guidance and control
• Attitude dynamics, determination and control
• Attitude-sensor and payload-sensor calibration
• Dynamical systems theory applied to space flight
• Dynamics and control of large space structures and tethers
• Earth orbital and planetary mission studies
• Flight dynamics operations and spacecraft autonomy
• Orbit determination and space-surveillance tracking
• Orbital debris and space environment
• Orbital dynamics, perturbations, and stability
• Rendezvous, relative motion, proximity operations, and formation flying
• Reusable launch vehicle design, dynamics, guidance, and control
• Satellite constellations
• Spacecraft guidance, navigation and control (GNC)
• Space Situational Awareness (SSA), Conjunction Analysis (CA), and collision avoidance
• Trajectory/mission/maneuver design and optimization

Special sessions are also planned on the "use of advanced computer architectures for mission design analysis applications" and "orbit debris modeling and removal".
