Real-Time Contrail Monitoring and Mitigation Using CubeSat Constellations (2024)
Journal Article
Pushparaj, N., Cormier, L., Cappelletti, C., & Portapas, V. (2024). Real-Time Contrail Monitoring and Mitigation Using CubeSat Constellations. Atmosphere, 15(12), Article 1543. https://doi.org/10.3390/atmos15121543

Contrails, or condensation trails, left by aircraft, significantly contribute to global warming by trapping heat in the Earth’s atmosphere. Despite their critical role in climate dynamics, the environmental impact of contrails remains underexplored....

Preliminary Design of a GNSS Interference Mapping CubeSat Mission: JamSail (2024)
Journal Article
Cormier, L., Yousif, T., Thompson, S., Arcia Gil, A., Pushparaj, N., Blunt, P., & Cappelletti, C. (2024). Preliminary Design of a GNSS Interference Mapping CubeSat Mission: JamSail. Aerospace, 11(11), Article 901. https://doi.org/10.3390/aerospace11110901

The JamSail mission is an educational CubeSat aiming to design, develop, and demonstrate two new technologies on a small satellite, tentatively scheduled for launch no earlier than 2026. When launched, JamSail will demonstrate the functionality of tw... Read More about Preliminary Design of a GNSS Interference Mapping CubeSat Mission: JamSail.

Optimization of MMX relative quasi-satellite transfer trajectories using primer vector theory (2024)
Journal Article
Pushparaj, N., Baresi, N., & Kawakatsu, Y. (2024). Optimization of MMX relative quasi-satellite transfer trajectories using primer vector theory. Acta Astronautica, 225, 390-401. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actaastro.2024.09.031

Quasi-satellite orbits (QSO) are stable retrograde parking orbits around Phobos that are currently being considered for JAXA’s upcoming robotic sample return mission Maritan Moons Exploration (MMX). During the proximity operations o... Read More about Optimization of MMX relative quasi-satellite transfer trajectories using primer vector theory.

Design and analysis of stable differentiator-predictor (2020)
Journal Article
Wang, X. (2022). Design and analysis of stable differentiator-predictor. International Journal of Control, 95(5), 1228-1250. https://doi.org/10.1080/00207179.2020.1847326

In this paper, the phase lead by the general phase-lead compensator is analysed, and a criterion of its parameters selection is proposed. In order to get the relatively large time-interval prediction for stochastic signal, two types of differentiator... Read More about Design and analysis of stable differentiator-predictor.
